Aging doesn’t have to mean losing your past. Scientists have found a way to "reprogram" specific memory-holding neurons, ...

The capacity of an organism to regenerate depends on cell dedifferentiation followed by proliferation. Mammals, in general, have limited regenerative capacity. Now, a team of researchers at the Salk ...

Scientists reverse eye cell aging with ER-100 gene therapy that reprograms retinal neurons to younger states, offering hope ...

Viruses have spent billions of years perfecting the art of invading cells, hijacking their machinery and spreading with ...

Cancer immunotherapy has advanced the field of medicine and cancer care. Specifically, immunotherapy refers to the targeted treatment of the immune system. Over the last few decades, immunotherapy has ...

For all they do for us, our hearts aren't very good at repairing themselves. So when a person suffers a heart attack, their blood pump is left with a large amount of scar tissue, which can impede the ...

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 ...

Promising research from The University of Toledo suggests it might be possible to cure Type I diabetes by reprogramming a patient's own immune cells to heal the pancreas and restore the body's ability ...

Most tissues in the body can regenerate themselves after an injury, but unfortunately heart muscle cells aren’t one of them. Now, scientists at the Max Planck Institute have shown in mice that ...
