In the battle against type 1 diabetes (T1D), one researcher at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) is leading a ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important ...

Researchers have developed a new computational approach that uncovers possible drugs for specific cellular targets for ...

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 ...

Zimislecel is an allogeneic stem cell-derived islet cell therapy that could eliminate the need for insulin in those who have ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

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 ...

Stem cell therapy is an emerging treatment for type 2 diabetes. Although it’s not yet FDA-approved in the United States, it is a rapidly expanding and promising field of research. Stem cells are ...

Computational biologists have uncovered how RNA splicing -- a crucial process for isoform expression and protein diversity -- is regulated across different cell types in the peripheral blood. This ...

One challenge of using cell therapy to treat type 1 diabetes is that this approach requires chronic suppression of the immune system to prevent rejection of donor cells. A Vertex Pharmaceuticals ...
