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

A stride that marked the turn of the century—realizing the possibility of reprogramming embryonic and adult fibroblasts into pluripotent stem cells by the co-expression of only four gene ...

Scientists report that they have used a cellular reprogramming methodology to allow the creation of neural networks that reproduce unique characteristics of human cells—different from those obtained ...

A new way of reprogramming our immune cells to shrink or kill off cancer cells has been shown to work in the otherwise hard to treat and devastating skin cancer, melanoma. The discovery demonstrates a ...

Researchers from Harvard Medical School, the University of Maine, and MIT have developed a method for reversing cellular aging. The groundbreaking research could be an alternative to gene therapy for ...

Studies on diseases that affect the human brain are usually based on animal models which cannot reproduce the complexity of human neuropathies. Therefore, these methodologies often fail when applied ...

Jonas Salk quietly built the polio vaccine through rigorous, methodical work in Pittsburgh: treating patients, refinin ...

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 ...

I attended the Global Wellness Summit in Dubai (my 13th consecutive, I think), which focused on transformative technologies that are making wellness for an extended lifetime more attainable. The use ...
