Promising mouse studies and billions of dollars in funding are stoking excitement. But we’ve been here before.

In order to reprogram readily available cells into specific immune cells that fight various diseases, one must know the "recipe" for the transformation. Researchers at Lund University have now created ...

Leuven, 11 March 2025 – Solid tumors often provide a challenging environment for the T cells of our immune system. By reprogramming the metabolism of T cells, scientists at the VIB-KU Leuven Center ...

Cell therapy, particularly using cardiomyocytes, shows significant promise for treating heart failure. Direct reprogramming of somatic cells into cardiomyocytes using small molecules is advantageous ...

Researchers have discovered that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, may be changing crucial white blood cells called neutrophils so that instead of working to destroy pathogens, they instead ...
