University of Bristol–led researchers have identified a naturally occurring gut molecule that could strengthen chickens' immune response against a wide range of bacterial infections. This development, ...

In order to reprogram readily available cells into specific immune cells that fight various diseases, one must know the "recipe" for the transformation. Researchers at Lund University have now created ...

EPFL researchers have uncovered how transcription factor dosage reshapes cell identity, showing that even small differences in dose can steer cells toward completely different fates. Their findings ...

We came to a bench where a graduate student was working on one of the key mysteries behind antiaging: How does a cell remember its former state? Borrowing from information theory, Sinclair believes in ...

Specialized cells in the human body make biological trade-offs to perform certain jobs. To support the large, hardworking hearts that power other organs, heart cells have evolved to be extremely ...

In a breakthrough for longevity science, a reverse-aging treatment has been injected into a human. The technique is a sought-after solution for improving longevity by reprogramming cells. Competitors ...

Researchers have identified key factors that promote the reprogramming of human stem cells to the naïve state, which can be used to model the earliest stages of development. This new knowledge will ...
