A team has identified an experimental molecule capable of "reprogramming" the brain's immune cells to restore part of their ...

A newly published review article highlights the critical role of fatty acid metabolism in shaping the tumor microenvironment and influencing cancer progression, offering fresh perspectives for the ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have uncovered a key reason why immunotherapy has largely failed in pancreatic cancer—and identified a promising strategy to overcome that resistance.

Researchers from VIB, VUB, and an international network of collaborators have created the most comprehensive single-cell ...

UH engineers helped develop an mRNA-based strategy that boosts cancer-fighting T cells and, in mouse studies, helped ...

Leuven, 11 March 2025 – Solid tumors often provide a challenging environment for the T cells of our immune system. By reprogramming the metabolism of T cells, scientists at the VIB-KU Leuven Center ...

Twelve people whose stomach or colon cancers had defeated every available treatment were infused with their own immune cells, ...

In recent years, we have come to appreciate that loss or dysfunction of insulin-producing islet beta cells underlies virtually all major forms of diabetes mellitus. In type 1 diabetes, beta cells ...

A new paper in the journal Nature reveals an astonishing—and frankly unsettling—feature of some cancer cells: the ability to physically inject mitochondria into their neighboring cells. These ...

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 ...

Thyroid cancer cells undergo profound metabolic reprogramming to support rapid proliferation, survival under stress and metastatic spread. A hallmark of this reprogramming is the shift from ...
