As people age, their immune system function declines. T cell populations become smaller and can't react to pathogens as ...

As the immune system weakens with age, researchers have found a way to temporarily boost its function by reprogramming liver cells to support T-cell development.

Jonas Salk quietly built the polio vaccine through rigorous, methodical work in Pittsburgh: treating patients, refinin ...

SEATTLE – April 12, 2017 – Researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center have developed biodegradable nanoparticles that can be used to genetically program immune cells to recognize and ...

A new study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), published in Cell, reveals how a high fat diet can rewire ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) have discovered a way to turn the body’s B cells into tiny surveillance machines and antibody factories that can pump out specially designed ...

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 ...
