In order to reprogram readily available cells into specific immune cells that fight various diseases, one must know the ...

In the battle against type 1 diabetes (T1D), one researcher at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) is leading a ...

A new study from the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute now shows how human stem cell based therapy may help ...

Stanford University-led researchers report that tumor cells hijack mitochondria from immune cells, reducing anti-tumor immune ...

Stem cell therapy is an emerging treatment for type 2 diabetes. Although it’s not yet FDA-approved in the United States, it is a rapidly expanding and promising field of research. Stem cells are ...

Researchers have shown in mice that brain cells known as astrocytes are required for a signaling chemical called norepinephrine to modify brain activity, changing the textbook understanding that ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

Insulin-producing cells can be genetically modified to hide from the immune system. People with type 1 diabetes must constantly rely on insulin injections or pumps, usually for the rest of their life ...

Researchers have unlocked a way to grow the immune system’s “conductors” from stem cells, bringing ready-made cancer-fighting therapies a big step closer. For the first time, scientists at the Univers ...

People with type 1 diabetes must constantly rely on insulin injections or pumps, usually for the rest of their life after diagnosis. The autoimmune disease destroys the cells that produce the hormone, ...

A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — plays a vital, overlooked role in the first steps of life. Each of us starts ...
