A burgeoning field is launching its first clinical trial to find out whether dialing back cell development can safely refresh ...

Cancer cells can disarm the immune system not just by hiding from it, but by actively reprogramming nearby immune cells into a suppressed state. This previously unrecognized molecular interaction, ...

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have discovered how tumors disable immune "gatekeeper" cells that alert the rest of the immune system to the presence of cancer—and how restoring their ...

A clinical trial to reverse age-related vision conditions using stem cell treatment could finally deliver on the promise of a ...

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are derived from adult cells, such as skin or blood cells, which have been “reprogrammed” back to a stem-cell-like state. This transformation grants them the ...

Endogenous Retroviruses (ERVs), relics from ancient viral infections, form a significant part of vertebrate genomes, including humans, where they constitute ...

Scientists reprogram brain cells to remove Alzheimer’s plaques with a single injection, showing a new approach to long-term ...

Cancer immunology is advancing rapidly as researchers seek to unravel the complex, dynamic relationships between tumor cells, immune populations, and the ...
