Researchers in Brazil have engineered natural killer cells to better attack blood cancers, showing improved tumour control in lab and animal studies.

Leuven, 11 March 2025 – Solid tumors often provide a challenging environment for the T cells of our immune system. By reprogramming the metabolism of T cells, scientists at the VIB-KU Leuven Center ...

Stimulating a key metabolic pathway in T cells can make them work more effectively against tumors when combined with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy, according to a preclinical study led by ...

Tumor metabolomics is an emerging field focused on understanding the metabolic alterations that occur in tumor cells and their surrounding microenvironment. These changes are essential to support the ...

Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost identical cells perform such different functions? The key lies in the ...

Solid tumors often provide a challenging environment for the T cells of our immune system. By reprogramming the metabolism of T cells, scientists at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology and ...

In order to reprogram readily available cells into specific immune cells that fight various diseases, one must know the "recipe" for the transformation. Researchers at Lund University have now created ...

Life begins with a tiny orchestra of stem cells, setting the stage for the body’s grand symphony of development. As the performance unfolds, a dynamic interplay of factors takes center stage, ...
