Aging, at its most fundamental level, is a molecular process. Chemical marks on the genome shift and lose fidelity over time, ...

For the first time ever, scientists are attempting to reverse cellular aging in a living patient. The target: incurable ...

Cancer immunotherapy has advanced the field of medicine and cancer care. Specifically, immunotherapy refers to the targeted treatment of the immune system. Over the last few decades, immunotherapy has ...

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 ...

The concept of trained immunity has redefined innate immune responses as adaptable, durable, and context dependent. Natural killer (NK) cells, traditionally ...

EPFL researchers have uncovered how transcription factor dosage reshapes cell identity, showing that even small differences in dose can steer cells toward completely different fates. Their findings ...

Promising mouse studies and billions of dollars in funding are stoking excitement. But we’ve been here before.

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 ...

The mechanical properties of tissue matrix are crucial for maintaining cell health and function. With aging, tissue matrix loses its mechanical integrity and exhibits altered biophysical properties, ...

A newly identified molecule called OLE helped restore the brain’s immune cells to a more protective state in Alzheimer’s ...
