For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important ...

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

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

Researchers have unlocked a way to grow the immune system’s “conductors” from stem cells, bringing ready-made cancer-fighting therapies a big step closer. For the first time, scientists at the Univers ...

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 ...

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

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

One challenge of using cell therapy to treat type 1 diabetes is that this approach requires chronic suppression of the immune system to prevent rejection of donor cells. A Vertex Pharmaceuticals ...
