Researchers have unlocked a way to grow the immune system’s “conductors” from stem cells, bringing ready-made cancer-fighting therapies a big step closer. For the first time, scientists at the Univers ...

The study, published in British scientific journal Nature, suggests that the disease may begin in basal stem cells — ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important ...

It's been more than two decades since scientists finished sequencing the human genome, providing a comprehensive map of human biology that has since accelerated progress in disease research and ...

KAIST researchers have developed a way to reprogram immune cells already inside tumors into cancer-killing machines. A drug ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important type of human immune cell-known as helper T cells-from stem cells in a ...

In most solid tumors, high numbers of regulatory T (Treg) cells are associated with poorer outcomes because they dampen the immune system's ability to fight against a tumor. Subscribe to our ...

Researchers have identified a previously unknown inflammatory mechanism that may drive the aggressiveness and relapse of ...

Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

Scientists at Kyoto University have uncovered a hidden protein complex that organizes DNA in sperm stem cells, a discovery that reveals surprising ties between fertility and cancer. When this protein, ...
