One of the most enduring goals in regenerative medicine is deceptively simple: replace a person's damaged or dying cells with ...

“For many cell-based therapies, progress comes from connecting the right pieces at the right moment,” Klein said. “When ...

Viruses attack nearly every living organism on Earth. To do so, they rely on highly specialized proteins that recognize and ...

T cells sit at the center of modern immunotherapy, yet many of the rules that govern their activation, differentiation, dysfunction (e.g., exhaustion), and ...

Researchers found a "garbage man" enzyme that tags toxic clumps of proteins in the brain for removal, and saw a correlation ...

Neoantigens are unique markers that distinguish only cancer cells. By adding B cell reactivity, cancer vaccines can move beyond one-time attacks and short-term memory to become a long-term immunity ...

That first pulse of life, the careful, patterned movement of cells that creates a new organism, has always been something of a secret miracle. Now, MIT engineers have introduced a deep-learning model ...

Tattoo ink doesn’t just sit inertly in the skin. New research shows it moves rapidly into the lymphatic system, where it can persist for months, kill immune cells, and even disrupt how the body ...

Researchers recently developed a bone marrow model to study how the body generates cells. Interestingly, this model is the first of its kind to be developed entirely from human cells. Not only can ...

Researchers at the Eye Genetics Research Unit at Children's Medical Research Institute (CMRI) are the first in the world to use stem cells to study one of the genetic causes of Leber Congenital ...

Our body’s “blood factory” consists of specialized tissue made up of bone cells, blood vessels, nerves and other cell types. Now, researchers have succeeded for the first time in recreating this ...
