A previously unknown structure discovered in our cells could pave the way toward new treatments for various genetic disorders. The existence of the organelle—which has been dubbed the ...

The cure for diabetes is a life free from daily insulin injections. Based on that criterion, ten out of 12 people (83%) in a new clinical trial were cured of their diabetes one year after ...

Move over, wrinkle creams—caffeine may hold the key to a longer life.

Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan studied what happens when macrophages—a type of immune cell—encounter dying cancer cells in tumors and discovered a mechanism that accelerates tumor ...

Homan suggested that these cells are “involved in a lot of crime,” including drug and sex trafficking, “because they’ve got to finance their activity.” ...

A Canadian woman with type 1 diabetes spent nearly a decade dependent on her glucose monitor and insulin shots — but after a single dose of manufactured stem cells implanted into her liver, she ...

Current approved CAR T-cell therapy treatments rely on an ex vivo route, in which a patient’s T cells are removed, genetically engineered to target antigens, and put back into the patient. From ...

Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Capital Medical University utilized gene editing to create senescence-resistant human mesenchymal progenitor cells (SRCs). In a 44-week trial ...

Vertex Pharmaceuticals may have narrowed its focus this year, but the biopharma’s decision to stick with its remaining islet cell therapy ...

Capstan Therapeutics scientists demonstrate that lipid nanoparticles can engineer CAR T cells within the body without laboratory cell manufacturing and ex vivo expansion. The method using targeted ...

For example, in engineering artificial tissue, scientists might optimize intercellular flow within the tissue to improve its function or resilience.

CAR T-cell therapy has the potential to revolutionise how we treat certain types of cancer by genetically engineering someone’s own immune cells to attack the disease – but it is also ...
