A new study has uncovered new genetic rules that determine how CD8 “killer” T cells choose between becoming long-lasting, protective immune cells or slipping into exhausted, dysfunctional states.

During the World Economic Forum in Davos last week, Elon Musk called human aging a “very solvable” problem. “When we figure out what causes aging, I think we’ll find it’s incredibly obvious,” the ...

In a bid to treat blindness, Life Biosciences will try out potent cellular reprogramming technology on volunteers. When Elon Musk was at Davos last week, an interviewer asked him if he thought aging ...

In order to reprogram readily available cells into specific immune cells that fight various diseases, one must know the “recipe” for the transformation. Researchers at Lund University have now created ...

Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have identified a new way to reprogram T cells, which are infection and tumor-fighting white blood cells, so that they have a ...

Atomic defects in nanodiamonds enable both precise heating of lysosomes inside macrophages and nanoscale temperature measurement, revealing that localized thermal spikes trigger immune cell ...
