MIT researchers have developed an experimental mRNA-based therapy that restored key immune functions lost with age in mice.

HOUSTON, June 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FibroBiologics, Inc., (Nasdaq: FBLG) ("FibroBiologics"), a clinical-stage biotechnology company with 150+ patents issued and pending with a focus on the ...

Researchers have used pluripotent stem cells to make thymus organoids that support the development of patient-specific T-cells. The proof-of-concept work provides the basis for studying human thymus ...

The thymus is one of the most important organs of the immune system, where T cells learn to distinguish the body’s own tissue from foreign tissue – a decisive step in preventing autoimmune diseases.

Researchers have used pluripotent stem cells to make thymus organoids that support the development of patient-specific T-cells, researchers report March 23 rd in the journal Stem Cell Reports. The ...

Fully formed gut and skin cells in the thymus are found to be responsible for training the T cells of the immune system not to attack the body's own tissues. Thymus is a lemon-sized organ located in ...

The decrease in the number of CD4 + T cells during HIV infection is the result of both peripheral destruction of cells by the virus and inadequate replacement of these cells. Aging and HIV infection ...

We discovered the function of the thymus and made key findings on the function of the two main subsets of lymphocytes, T cells and B cells. This was the fundamental basis for modern immunology.

Scientists have succeeded in regenerating a living organ for the first time. Researchers rebuilt the thymus -- an organ in the body located next to the heart that produces important immune cells. The ...
