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 ...

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

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

A new study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), published in Cell, reveals how a high fat diet can rewire liver cells, pushing them back into an immature, stem cell like state that ...

A mature cell of one type can be turned into a mature cell of another type without the cell having to pass through an earlier stage of development. This is called direct reprogramming, a reliable but ...

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 ...

From microglia reprogramming to immune cell-based diagnostics, 2025 was a big year for breakthroughs in cell biology.

Scientists identify measurable cellular changes that flag higher cancer risk more than a decade before tumors appear. In ...

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 ...
