The current path to CAR-T cell therapy is, by any measure, a logistical ordeal. A patient’s immune cells must be drawn out of ...

The powerful gene-editing technique CRISPR–Cas9 might offer a way to make safer, more effective cancer-fighting immune cells ...

A growing body of research is challenging the long-held assumption that memory and awareness belong exclusively to the brain. Scientists working across immunology, biophysics, and neuroscience have ...

UCSF scientists found a precise way to turn on cancer-fighting immune cells inside the body. This more potent form of CAR-T has the potential to treat many more cancers.

Scientists have built functional cancer-fighting immune cells directly inside living animals, skipping the expensive and time-consuming process of extracting a patient’s cells and engineering them in ...

Do all our cells have a type of memory, and if so, how might this influence health? We investigate. Design by MNT; Photography by Grant Faint/Getty Images & Ed Reschke/Getty Images. Memory is one of ...

Every single second, a million cells in your body die. So where does all that waste go? A new study reveals a surprisingly cannibalistic cleanup method. Some dead stem cells in the mammal body appear ...

Researchers have created an early map of some of the human body’s estimated 37.2 trillion cells. Each type of cell has a unique role, and knowing what all the cells do can help scientists better ...

Weight loss is notoriously hard to maintain. Within a few years most people regain the pounds they initially lose, whether through dieting, exercise, surgery or weight-loss medications such as the ...
