Cancer-killing T cells have been programmed to have two levels of specificity. First, the T cells have been equipped with a receptor sensitive to a protein that is found only in central nervous system ...

Cancer treatment often sounds distant and technical, so stories about it can feel hard to enter. Yet, everyday curiosity ...

The FDA has authorized Mayo Clinic to offer mesenchymal stem cells as part of the Regenerative Nephrology Compassionate Use Program. This is an expanded access program.

As people age, their immune system function declines. T cell populations become smaller and can't react to pathogens as ...

The field of sepsis research has advanced significantly in recent years, particularly regarding the interplay between immune responses and multiple forms of ...

Cells have the remarkable ability to initiate their own death through a mechanism called programmed cell death, also known as apoptosis. Apoptosis contains sophisticated signalling pathways and ...

EPFL scientists have identified a molecular pathway that protects cells from lipid oxidation and ferroptosis, a regulated ...

This review highlights the critical role of ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs) in regulating programmed cell death (PCD) in breast cancer (BC). As the most prevalent malignant tumor among women, BC ...

How did cells evolve a process to end their own lives? Recent research suggests that apoptosis, a form of programmed cell death, first arose billions of years ago in bacteria with a primitive ...

There are several programmed cell death pathways that lead to cellular self-destruction, either for developmental processes, tissue maintenance, or stress responses. These include apoptosis, ...

The earliest days after fertilization, once a sperm cell meets an egg, are shrouded in scientific mystery. The process of how a humble single cell becomes an organism fascinates scientists across ...
