An international team led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden has identified the molecular tools needed to reprogram ordinary cells into specialized immune cells. The discovery, published in ...

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 ...

Metabolism guides the activation states of regulatory T cells, the immune cells that prevent inappropriate activation of the immune system. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists recently ...

A new study, with help from artificial intelligence, focuses on reprogramming cancer stem cells and triggering some to ...

Human skin cells have been reprogrammed into heart valve cells and then used to successfully transplant a pig heart valve into a rodent, led by the research of a Northeastern University professor. The ...

Researchers have discovered that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, may be changing crucial white blood cells called neutrophils so that instead of working to destroy pathogens, they instead ...

Two teams reprogram skin cells for pluripotency Two studies published today report that human somatic cells can be reprogrammed into a pluripotent state that resembles human embryonic stem cells.
