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

A new immune cell conversion technology has been developed that directly transforms somatic cells into 'Natural Killer (NK) ...

Stimulating a key metabolic pathway in T cells can make them work more effectively against tumors when combined with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy, according to a preclinical study. The findings ...

The mechanical properties of tissue matrix are crucial for maintaining cell health and function. With aging, tissue matrix loses its mechanical integrity and exhibits altered biophysical properties, ...

Aging is the primary risk factor for numerous life-threatening diseases and has long been a central focus of biological research. Epigenetic reprogramming, a process that can modulate cell fate and ...

A mature cell of one type can be turned into a mature cell of another type without the cell having to pass through an earlier stage of development. This is called direct reprogramming, a reliable but ...

July 10, 2025 - A research team led by Professor Yiwei Li and Professor Bi-Feng Liu from the College of Life Science and Technology at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) published an ...

Understanding how tumors change their metabolism to resist treatments is a growing focus in cancer research. As cancer cells adapt to therapies, their metabolism often shifts, which can help them ...
