Cancer-killing T cells have been programmed to have two levels of specificity. First, the T cells have been equipped with a receptor sensitive to a protein that is found only in central nervous system ...

Cancer treatment often sounds distant and technical, so stories about it can feel hard to enter. Yet, everyday curiosity ...

The FDA has authorized Mayo Clinic to offer mesenchymal stem cells as part of the Regenerative Nephrology Compassionate Use Program. This is an expanded access program.

As people age, their immune system function declines. T cell populations become smaller and can't react to pathogens as quickly, making people more susceptible to a variety of infections.

Cells have the remarkable ability to initiate their own death through a mechanism called programmed cell death, also known as apoptosis. Apoptosis contains sophisticated signalling pathways and ...

EPFL scientists have identified a molecular pathway that protects cells from lipid oxidation and ferroptosis, a regulated ...

The field of sepsis research has advanced significantly in recent years, particularly regarding the interplay between immune responses and multiple forms of ...

How did cells evolve a process to end their own lives? Recent research suggests that apoptosis, a form of programmed cell death, first arose billions of years ago in bacteria with a primitive ...

This review highlights the critical role of ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs) in regulating programmed cell death (PCD) in breast cancer (BC). As the most prevalent malignant tumor among women, BC ...

As people grow older, their immune systems do not simply slow down, they often become locked into a simmering, ...

There are several programmed cell death pathways that lead to cellular self-destruction, either for developmental processes, tissue maintenance, or stress responses. These include apoptosis, ...
