Mineral casts of cancer cell surfaces reprogram fat cells into stem cells and improve insulin sensitivity in obese mice through purely mechanical cues. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Cancer cells corrupt their ...

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 ...

Two teams of researchers have developed a cell reprogramming technology that converts rogue disease-causing T cells from our immune system into protective T reg cells. These cells help ensure that the ...

Aging, at its most fundamental level, is a molecular process. Chemical marks on the genome shift and lose fidelity over time, ...

An international team led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden has identified the molecular tools needed to reprogram ordinary cells into specialised immune cells. The discovery, published in ...

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 ...

A novel study led by Prof. Mira Barda-Saad and her research team at the Goodman Faculty of Life Sciences at Bar-Ilan University has unveiled a novel method to rejuvenate natural killer (NK) cells in ...

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 for Cancer Biology and ...

Researchers have discovered that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, may be changing crucial white blood cells called neutrophils so that instead of working to destroy pathogens, they instead ...
