St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have discovered how tumors disable immune "gatekeeper" cells that alert the ...

Systemic candidiasis is an opportunistic fungal infection that has been difficult to treat effectively. Research published in ...

Dr. Lun Yu explains how advanced molecular design can enable peptides to target the biological roots of skin ageing, turning longevity science into actionable innovation ...

A metabolic enzyme found in the support cells surrounding tumors may hold the key to predicting which cancer patients will ...

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 ...

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 ...

For all they do for us, our hearts aren't very good at repairing themselves. So when a person suffers a heart attack, their blood pump is left with a large amount of scar tissue, which can impede the ...

A breakthrough in CAR-T therapy may allow cancer treatment with a single injection, cutting costs and making care more available.

One promising strategy to remuscularize the injured heart is the direct cardiac reprogramming of heart fibroblast cells into cardiomyocytes. Researchers have identified TBX20 as the key missing ...

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 ...
