A team achieves a notable "upgrade" of CAR-T cells, making them effective even with solid and deep tumors.
A Harvard team finds evidence that mice cells have a mechanism for resetting their biological age. Then he also discovers them in human cells.
A new anti-obesity approach does not aim to suppress hunger starting from the brain, but directly affects the metabolism of fat cells. It works.
A new method of reprogramming human cells with Yamanaka factors achieves extremely better results than previous ones.
Having passed through the USA without any particular reactions, an installation featuring meat grown using human cells has caused quite a stir. It's useful.
DMT, dimethyltryptamine, a drug used in shamanic rituals, is able to promote the formation of new brain cells by improving (in studies on mice) memory and cognitive ability.
Melittin, the main peptide in bee venom, kills breast cancer cells in 60 minutes. A discovery that can mark a turning point in the fight against the disease
In laboratory tests, the team restored motor function in mice affected by multiple sclerosis.
Resetting the cellular age of cells from a supercentenarian is a significant step toward understanding the mechanisms of extreme longevity and disease resistance.
A new method turns human pluripotent stem cells into insulin-producing cells, which quickly cured acute diabetes in mice.
An algorithm reassembles a frog's cells and tissues into new living organisms designed to perform specific functions. The era of xenobots, living machines, has begun.
The small device uses nano transfection of tissues to regenerate entire organs with the touch of a finger: what was once matter for Star Trek now comes close to reality.
If you are still not convinced that stem cells are the future of medicine, listen here: a group of Japanese researchers used stem cells to synthesize a new, fully functional organ in the laboratory, starting from SCRATCH. This is the research team at the RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology, which took mouse stem cells and transformed them into a perfectly functioning pituitary gland: the pituitary gland, otherwise called the pituitary gland, is a small organ...

Carolina de Aguiar Ferreira is transforming the fight against cancer with innovative isotopes for precise targeting of cancer cells.
The quick and inexpensive blood test detects a protein produced by tumor cells even before symptoms begin.
An engineered oncolytic virus can affect cancer cells and make them more visible and vulnerable to the immune system.
A promising T-cell-based immunotherapy stops multiple sclerosis: it also appears to reverse its damage, but this needs confirmation.
Great progress in infertility treatments: a team of scientists has created 3D printed human testicular cells capable of producing sperm.
Cancer cells in acidosis gorge themselves on these fatty acids, remaining "poisoned". There is hope of defeating cancer
Properly engineered adenoviruses can fight cancer by killing cancer cells. Important results of a Japanese research.
