Innate immunity is a foundational field in immunology, critical for understanding how organisms sense and respond to danger, be it pathogens or sterile ...

A new way of reprogramming our immune cells to shrink or kill off cancer cells has been shown to work in the otherwise hard to treat and devastating skin cancer, melanoma. The discovery demonstrates a ...

Aging doesn’t have to mean losing your past. Scientists have found a way to "reprogram" specific memory-holding neurons, restoring youthful learning and recall in mice.

The capacity of an organism to regenerate depends on cell dedifferentiation followed by proliferation. Mammals, in general, have limited regenerative capacity. Now, a team of researchers at the Salk ...

Researchers from Japan reveal that they may just have found a way to repair cardiac damage in patients suffering from chronic heart attack and heart failure. In a study published in Circulation, ...

Scientists have observed signs of rejuvenation in the pancreas, liver, spleen, and blood of mice after applying one cycle of cell reprogramming. To achieve this, the researchers have characterized ...

Personalized disease treatment, tailored to an individual’s genetic background, is the future of medicine. Stem cells hold the promise of that objective becoming a reality. A decade ago, the discovery ...

Aging is a complex process that has long puzzled scientists. A recent study published in Engineering proposes a new theory called pro-aging metabolic reprogramming (PAMRP), which could change our ...

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 ...

Most tissues in the body can regenerate themselves after an injury, but unfortunately heart muscle cells aren’t one of them. Now, scientists at the Max Planck Institute have shown in mice that ...
