Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based cancer therapy. Helper T cells act as the immune system’s coordinators, helping ...

A new map of the "maternal-fetal interface" reveals a new type of cell, as well as the types of cells most likely to be affected in conditions like preeclampsia. When you purchase through links on our ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward protecting the very cells that make sharp, colorful vision possible. By testing more than 2,700 compounds in thousands of lab-grown human retinal models, ...

In “The Hidden Garden,” Ruby Honjol ’29 examines how groundbreaking medical discoveries can flourish while the humanity of the patients behind them remains unseen. Editor’s Note: This article is a ...

Signaling is fundamental to how cells sense and respond to their environment—but in immune cells, those signals must be precisely amplified to mount an effective defense against invasive threats. New ...

The integrity of DNA and RNA is essential for every cell. DNA contains the genetic information for proteins, while RNA serves as a working copy of individual genes and is required for the synthesis of ...

Upcoming drama “Yumi’s Cells 3” has shared a new glimpse of Kim Go Eun’s character. Based on the popular webtoon of the same name, “Yumi’s Cells” tells the story of an ordinary office worker named ...

Even when patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) appear to be in remission, small numbers of cancer cells can remain in the body. These lingering cells—known as measurable residual disease ...

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. “We are very ...

Microplastics that break off polystyrene food containers might prevent immune cells from fighting infections and clearing away dead cells, as well as reducing sperm counts, a mouse study hints. When ...

This study challenges the long-held notion that immune cells migrate through tissues without gripping the surrounding matrix, relying on a friction-based amoeboid migration mode. We show that when ...
