One promising strategy to remuscularize the injured heart is the direct cardiac reprogramming of heart fibroblast cells into cardiomyocytes. Researchers have identified TBX20 as the key missing ...

A new way of reprogramming our immune cells to shrink or kill off cancer cells has been shown to work in the otherwise hard to treat and devastating skin cancer, melanoma. The discovery demonstrates a ...

In summary, macrophages secrete IFN-β, activating the IFN-β-IFNAR-p-STAT1 axis in MICFs, leading to increased secretion of CCL2/7/12 chemokines and subsequent recruitment of more IFN-β-secreting ...

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 ...

Researchers from Monash University in Melbourne and The University of Western Australia have demonstrated how a reprogramming method imitates embryonic epigenetic reset. Transient naive treatment (TNT ...

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 ...

In a bid to treat blindness, Life Biosciences will try out potent cellular reprogramming technology on volunteers. When Elon Musk was at Davos last week, an interviewer asked him if he thought aging ...

Aging is a complex process that has long puzzled scientists. A recent study published in Engineering proposes a new theory called Pro-Aging Metabolic Reprogramming (PAMRP), which could change our ...

Bengaluru: Indian Institute of Science (IISc) researchers have uncovered new details about how genes are expressed during the reprogramming of adult cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
