In the battle against type 1 diabetes (T1D), one researcher at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) is leading a ...

Gene expression reveals that different types of human cell can work as a unit. These cellular modules, found in several tissues, change during disease. However, suitable computational methods are ...

Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based ...

The study, published in British scientific journal Nature, suggests that the disease may begin in basal stem cells — ...

Each immune cell group has distinct metabolic requirements, activation pathways, and cytokine reliance. Standard, one-size-fits-all media cannot address these features. When studying diverse cell ...

Researchers have developed a new computational approach that uncovers possible drugs for specific cellular targets for ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far surpassing previous efforts that produced only a few dozen. By ...

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...

Stem cell therapy is an emerging treatment for type 2 diabetes. Although it’s not yet FDA-approved in the United States, it is a rapidly expanding and promising field of research. Stem cells are ...
