…attacking threats like cancer cells. This, in turn, can promote tumor metastasis. Surprisingly, the researchers observed that this inflammation also pushes the cancer cells to behave more like immature neuron-like…
…occur when the immune system attacks the body own organs. Type 1 diabetes, for example, is caused by the erroneous destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic cells. Multiple sclerosis is the most…
…rich in pectin, which is a fiber abundant in apples, were able to stave off tumor growth by activating immune cells and reprogramming the tumor microenvironment. Experimental Findings in Dietary…
…expert on stem cells. And as it turns out, stem cells can explain thorns. Irish and her research team first showed that, in citrus plants, thorns arise from the plants’…
…genes—those involved in DNA repair, RNA transport, and microtubules—are controlled by what is called the pluripotency network. The pluripotency network is involved in reprogramming somatic cells—any cells that are not…
…helps to understand the process of zygote genome activation, was observed in mice and could have implications for embryonic stem cell reprogramming. Scientists have discovered that OBOX genes play a…
…higher level of WWP2 ‘re-wires’ the cell’s metabolism, contributing to the advancement of fibrosis. On the other hand, a lack of WWP2 boosts metabolism in renal cells and slows down…
…therapeutic mitochondria,” stated corresponding author Dr. Hongwei Ouyang. “By reprogramming stem cells into highly efficient mitochondrial factories, we have solved the critical supply issue that has hindered clinical applications. The…
…simplified versions of brain tissue, by reprogramming blood and skin cells from people with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and from healthy volunteers into stem cells capable of forming brain-like structures. They…
…cerebrovascular dysfunction. Albayram said that in human brain microvascular endothelial cells, EPA did not act as a universal toxin. “Instead, when cells were placed in conditions that encouraged fatty acid…
Microscopic image of mitochondrial ROS, which indicates damage, in immune cells lacking the IL-10 signal. A newly published study from Yale University details the critical role IL-10 plays in controlling…
…pancreatic alpha cells turning into insulin-secreting beta cells after injury of the pancreas. To study this, researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona developed a unique system…
…researchers contacted pediatricians, geneticists, and neurologists from all over the globe, eventually collecting data from 30 patient families in 12 different countries. Reprogramming Blood Cells to Understand the Brain Because…
…treatment ended or even during ongoing maintenance dosing. “Certain changes in the allergen-specific immune cells, called Th2 cells, are critical to achieving lasting remission,” she said. Th2 cells are essential…
…androgen receptor. These tumors instead turn on a gene expression program more common in nerve cells, rather than prostate cells, and shift to an aggressive form called neuroendocrine prostate cancer.”…
…and poor patient outcomes, and it has the potential to become a genetic cancer biomarker. The human cell’s primary source of energy, the mitochondria plays an important role in the…
Researchers are testing if focused sound waves can mitigate cocaine addiction by reprogramming brain cells. This novel trial targets the insula in the brain, which plays a significant role in…
