Their findings, published online in Developmental Cell on April 22, focus on how temperature alters key epigenetic signals—chemical tags on DNA-packaging proteins that determine which genes are active ...

An international team led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden has identified the molecular tools needed to reprogram ordinary cells into specialized immune cells. The discovery, published in ...

A team led by researchers at the University of Toronto has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other areas of the body, called neural crest stem cells, are the source of ...

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 ...

A team of health and medical researchers affiliated with a host of institutions across Sweden has tested the possibility of reprogramming cancer cells into cDC1 cells as a means for destroying the ...

Promising mouse studies and billions of dollars in funding are stoking excitement. But we’ve been here before.

Stimulating a key metabolic pathway in T cells can make them work more effectively against tumors when combined with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy, according to a preclinical study. The findings ...
