Scientists discover mechanisms that could help dental treatment

The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) researchers have developed a way to reprogram immune cells already inside tumours into cancer-killing machines.

Researchers have discovered a way to help aging intestines heal themselves using CAR T-cell therapy. By targeting senescent cells that build up over time, the treatment boosted gut regeneration, reduced inflammation, and improved nutrient absorption in mice.

A research team has found that specific immune cells can connect with muscle fibres in a lightning-fast, neuron-like way to promote healing.

A first-of-its-kind trial is testing adult stem cell transplants for advanced dry macular degeneration. Early results show the treatment is safe and can significantly improve vision, even in severely affected patients.

Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have developed a promising new method for repairing spinal fractures using stem cells extracted from adipose tissue, also known as body fat.

Cambridge scientists have created a breakthrough material that can sense tiny chemical changes in the body, such as the increased acidity during an arthritis flare-up, and release drugs exactly when and where they're needed.

Research conducted at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) has shed light on how cells in the body manage and store fat, potentially offering new insights into human health.

A team of researchers at Lund University in Sweden has identified the molecular tools that are needed to reprogram ordinary cells into specialised immune cells.

Researchers are working to improve the way we use evolutionary modeling to understand drug resistance. The study uses a "fitness seascape" evolutionary model to predict whether an infection will develop antibiotic resistance. It found that inconsistent timing and missing early doses can lead to treatment failure.

Researchers find high-fat diets set off metabolic dysfunction in cells, leading to weight gain, but these effects can be reversed by treatment with an antioxidant.
