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

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

Metabolic reprogramming in the tumor microenvironment shapes immune function and therapy resistance, offering insights into ...

Atomic defects in nanodiamonds enable both precise heating of lysosomes inside macrophages and nanoscale temperature ...

The capacity of an organism to regenerate depends on cell dedifferentiation followed by proliferation. Mammals, in general, have limited regenerative capacity. Now, a team of researchers at the Salk ...

The ability to convert somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells has immense potential to further our understanding of development and disease mechanisms, and for cellular therapy. Before ...

Cells of a multicellular organism are functionally heterogeneous owing to the differential expression of genes. Historically, differential gene expression had been thought to involve the genetic ...

It is well known that adding a mixture of four reprogramming molecules (Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc) also known as “Yamanaka factors” to cells can reset epigenetic marks to their original patterns.

I attended the Global Wellness Summit in Dubai (my 13th consecutive, I think), which focused on transformative technologies that are making wellness for an extended lifetime more attainable. The use ...

Researchers have identified key factors that promote the reprogramming of human stem cells to the naïve state, which can be used to model the earliest stages of development. This new knowledge will ...

Single-cell analysis reveals fibroblast-mediated glycolysis drives systemic inflammation in dermatomyositis. Learn more about ...
