Astrocytes are the most common type of cell in the brain and are generally understood to help connect neurons together across the nervous system. The study shows they play a key role in learning and ...

A new study has overcome a long-standing challenge: how to isolate and study elusive HIV-infected cells called authentic reservoir clones (ARCs) that evade the immune system, making the disease ...

King's College London researchers have created a unique collection of human stem cell models that could help to uncover why ...

A pioneering clinical trial is exploring whether lab-engineered stem cells can restore dopamine production in people with Parkinson’s disease.

Researchers mapped myelin-making cells in mice, showing some brain regions recover better after myelin damage.

A blood sample drawn from a sickle cell disease patient on March 8, 2024, at Cook Children's Hematology and Oncology in Fort Worth. Sickle cell disease stems from an inherited gene mutation that warps ...

Human stem cells show signs of accelerated aging after time in orbit, according to a new study published in Cell Stem Cell. This discovery deepens concerns over the biological toll of extended space ...

A new study has discovered a molecular signal that tumors exploit to exhaust the T cells meant to destroy them-and how silencing that signal could revive the body's immunity. The study led by Weill ...

Kimchi may do far more than add flavor to meals—it could help fine-tune the human immune system. A clinical study using advanced single-cell genetic analysis found that regular kimchi consumption ...
