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 ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important type of human immune cell-known as helper T cells-from stem cells in a ...

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 ...

A Vertex Pharmaceuticals cell therapy for type 1 diabetes is enabling patients to produce insulin, eliminating the need for additional insulin therapy in the vast majority of participants in a key ...

A study led by researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center found that normal cells surrounding a tumor, known as cancer-associated ...

Some types of sickle cell disease cause severe illness, while others have a mild or unapparent course. Sickle cell disease is present from birth and inherited from genes you receive from your parents.
