Researchers in Japan pioneered reprogrammed cells 20 years ago. Now the country has given the first-ever authorizations to manufacture and sell medical products based on the technology.

People often compare the genome to a computer's program, with the cell using its genetic code to process environmental inputs and produce appropriate responses. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...

At the Faculty of Medicine, the Translational Research Centre in Onco-Haematology (CRTOH) brings together the leading forces in oncology research around a shared goal: to transform scientific ...

Radiotherapy (RT) is one of the most widely used cancer treatment modalities, applied in over half of all patients with cancer. In clinical oncology, positron emission tomography (PET) with 18 ...

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 ...

Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have identified a new way to reprogram T cells, which are infection and tumor-fighting white blood cells, so that they have a ...

Gram-stained section of a macrophage with ingested S epidermidis bacteria, seen as purple granules within its cytoplasm. In this stain, the nucleus appears pale, with a reddish nucleolus. It is ...

As we age, the cells that line our intestine gradually lose their ability to renew themselves, which is important for maintaining good immune health. But now, scientists have reversed this process in ...

Atomic defects in nanodiamonds enable both precise heating of lysosomes inside macrophages and nanoscale temperature measurement, revealing that localized thermal spikes trigger immune cell ...
