Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron ...

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that occurs in the lung, caused by bacteria. It is spread through the air and is preventable and even curable. However, it is still a serious illness that ...

An international group of researchers has identified an important mechanism that enables stem cells to evade immune rejection. Their research, published in Nature, sheds light on how these specialized ...

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

The immune system is comprised of two separate active arms of immunity to provide robust protection against disease. The two separate systems of immunity include the innate and adaptive immune ...

Salk Institute researchers analyzed immune cells from 110 people and found that genetic differences and life experiences ...

Orthopedic non-invasive stem cell therapy regenerates damaged tissue rather than just improving symptoms. Autologous stem cell therapy uses cells from your own body, minimizing rejection risks.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the cells that produce insulin—a critical hormone that regulates blood sugar in the body. Scientists at Scripps ...

Measuring membrane thickness was previously only possible in artificial membranes—now scientists can do it inside intact cells, providing crucial context for understanding how cells work.

Scientists have made an important discovery about the relationship between hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and immune response evasion. Their findings show how certain HSCs have regulatory functions ...
