Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based ...

Scientists at École Polytechnique Fédérale Lausanne (EPFL), and at UNIL-CHUV, University Hospital Lausanne (CHUV) and University of Lausanne (UNIL) have developed a computational method to create ...

Most people recognize Alzheimer's from its devastating symptoms such as memory loss, while new drugs target pathological aspects of disease manifestations, such as plaques of amyloid proteins. Now a ...

New research shows how some brain cells fight tau buildup in Alzheimer’s, pointing to internal systems that help neurons survive longer.

T cells play a big role in bringing cell and gene therapies to patients. Despite this clinical potential, scientists developing T cell therapies such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells, ...

Biologists have long suspected that aging is not just a slow, inevitable fraying of our cells but a process governed by specific molecular switches. A growing body of research now points to individual ...
