The study, published in British scientific journal Nature, suggests that the disease may begin in basal stem cells — ...

Researchers have identified the molecular and cellular mechanisms that transform healthy stem cells into oral cancer at the earliest stages of the disease. Nearly 60,000 people are diagnosed with oral ...

Researchers have unlocked a way to grow the immune system’s “conductors” from stem cells, bringing ready-made cancer-fighting therapies a big step closer. For the first time, scientists at the Univers ...

In a first-of-its-kind clinical trial, UCLA scientists have shown it's possible to reprogram a patient's blood-forming stem cells to generate a continuous supply of functional T cells, the immune ...

Scientists from A*STAR Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (A*STAR IMCB) have identified the specific cells responsible for gastric cancer's tendency to return after treatment. The study also ...

A group of immune proteins called the inflammasome can help prevent blood stem cells from becoming malignant by removing certain receptors from their surfaces and blocking cancer gene activity, ...

Immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer care by training the immune system to detect and destroy tumors. For many patients, it works very well in shrinking tumors and sending cancer into remission, an ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important ...
