A team has identified an experimental molecule capable of "reprogramming" the brain's immune cells to restore part of their ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new study reveals that reprogramming specialized cells to become different types of cells, a key process in regenerative medicine, faces a major hurdle. The challenge lies in the DNA methylation ...

A team led by researchers has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other areas of the body, called neural crest stem cells, are the source of reprogrammed neurons found by other ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have uncovered a key reason why immunotherapy has largely failed in pancreatic cancer—and identified a promising strategy to overcome that resistance.

A new paper in the journal Nature reveals an astonishing—and frankly unsettling—feature of some cancer cells: the ability to physically inject mitochondria into their neighboring cells. These ...
