Senescent fibroblasts are aging cells in connective tissue that no longer divide and protect against tumor development. Yet, these same cells can promote cancer growth in a laboratory setting.Until ...

The gene editing tool known as CRISPR-Cas9 is changing what's possible for treating a wide range of diseases caused by ...

When your body’s immune cells attack you instead of protecting you, today’s treatments tamp down the friendly fire but they ...

Since T cells in older adults function differently, scientists could reformulate vaccines to compensate specifically for age-related cellular changes rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected function for a crucial protein involved in cell division. Reported in two consecutive ...

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has demonstrated a new application for its cell-expansion bioreactor to advance tissue engineering and cell-based therapies for treatment of injuries and diseases.

The gene editing tool known as CRISPR-Cas9 is changing what's possible for treating a wide range of diseases caused by ...

Cell division is a process of remarkable precision: during each cycle, the genetic material must be evenly distributed between the two daughter cells. To achieve this, duplicated chromosomes, known as ...
