The human body is an assemblage of systems that have a surprising degree of autonomy, and are all busy managing various aspects of our mental and physical lives. Nonetheless, they do communicate with ...

Scientists at the University of Cambridge believe they may have discovered a surprising new way to slow the spread of brain cancer. Instead of targeting cancer cells directly, their research suggests ...

Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost identical cells perform such different functions? The key lies in the ...

A mechanism underlying neutrophil reprogramming in brain cancers has been uncovered, illuminating potential therapeutic targets to stop their pro-cancer effect. Tumor-infiltrating neutrophils are ...

It sounds like science fiction. Scientists take ordinary skin or blood cells, rewind them to a stem-cell state, then reprogram them into a kind of youthful immune cell. They then inject these into an ...

The lab of Filippo Veglia, Ph.D., at The Wistar Institute has discovered a previously unknown mechanism for how aggressive brain cancers reprogram immune system cells from fighting cancer to enabling ...
