Leuven, 11 March 2025 – Solid tumors often provide a challenging environment for the T cells of our immune system. By reprogramming the metabolism of T cells, scientists at the VIB-KU Leuven Center ...

Company has now raised $6 million since founding to advance mRNA-based therapeutics designed to turn tumor cells into immune-activating cells ...

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 ...

Precise methods for shredding or repairing and replacing specific cancer-causing proteins in a malignant cell, developed at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, could have applications beyond ...

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 ...

Using the fast metabolic glycan labeling (fMGL) technique, AMS-ManNAz-P was incorporated into the terminal sialic acids of various cell-surface glycans on γδ T cells. The modified γδ T cells were then ...

Two teams of researchers have developed a cell reprogramming technology that converts rogue disease-causing T cells from our immune system into protective T reg cells. These cells help ensure that the ...

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 ...
