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 ...

Scientists have found a way to stop brain cancer cells spreading by essentially 'freezing' a key molecule in the brain. The finding could pave the way for a new type of treatment for glioblastoma, the ...

As people age, their immune system function declines. T cell populations become smaller and can't react to pathogens as quickly, making people more susceptible to a variety of infections.

Stimulating a key metabolic pathway in T cells can make them work more effectively against tumors when combined with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy, according to a preclinical study. The findings ...

NEW YORK and PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Klotho Neurosciences, Inc. (KLTO) (Nasdaq: KLTO, "Klotho" or "the Company") today announced it has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to ...

A mature cell of one type can be turned into a mature cell of another type without the cell having to pass through an earlier stage of development. This is called direct reprogramming, a reliable but ...

In an innovative new study of glioblastoma, scientists used artificial intelligence (AI) to reprogram cancer cells, converting them into dendritic cells (DCs), which can identify cancer cells and ...

Human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) give researchers in pharmaceutical and biotechnology organizations access to human cell types that otherwise are hard to obtain or work with. However, ...

A new paper in the journal Nature reveals an astonishing—and frankly unsettling—feature of some cancer cells: the ability to physically inject mitochondria into their neighboring cells. These ...
