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 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 ...

In a first-of-its-kind clinical trial, UCLA scientists have shown it's possible to reprogram a patient's blood-forming stem cells to generate a continuous supply of functional T cells, the immune ...

Mineral casts of cancer cell surfaces reprogram fat cells into stem cells and improve insulin sensitivity in obese mice through purely mechanical cues. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Cancer cells corrupt their ...

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 ...

As part of the body's first line of defense against foreign invaders, macrophages play an integral role in the innate immune ...

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.

Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have found a new approach to the "reprogramming" of ordinary adult cells into stem cells. In a study published today in an Advance Online paper in ...

Magnetic nanoparticles engineered T cells inside living mice and guided them into solid tumors, achieving over 90% tumor inhibition where conventional immunotherapy fails. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

An international team led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden has identified the molecular tools needed to reprogram ordinary cells into specialised immune cells. The discovery, published in ...
