A cancer drug class best known for attacking tumors may also help your immune system remember them better. Researchers at ...

Cancer immunotherapy has advanced the field of medicine and cancer care. Specifically, immunotherapy refers to the targeted treatment of the immune system. Over the last few decades, immunotherapy has ...

LISBON, March 5 (Xinhua) -- Scientists have successfully created anti-tumor immune cells in a laboratory using cellular reprogramming for the first time, opening new possibilities in the fight against ...

A team led by researchers has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other areas of the body, called neural crest stem cells, are the source of reprogrammed neurons found by other ...

Researchers in Brazil have engineered natural killer cells to better attack blood cancers, showing improved tumour control in ...

A growing body of research is challenging the long-held assumption that memory and awareness belong exclusively to the brain. Scientists working across immunology, biophysics, and neuroscience have ...

A mature cell of one type can be turned into a mature cell of another type without the cell having to pass through an earlier stage of development. This is called direct reprogramming, a reliable but ...

The mechanical properties of tissue matrix are crucial for maintaining cell health and function. With aging, tissue matrix loses its mechanical integrity and exhibits altered biophysical properties, ...

Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost identical cells perform such different functions? The key lies in the ...

In order to reprogram readily available cells into specific immune cells that fight various diseases, one must know the "recipe" for the transformation. Researchers at Lund University have now created ...
