Researchers in Japan pioneered reprogrammed cells 20 years ago. Now the country has given the first-ever authorizations to manufacture and sell medical products based on the technology.

A cancer drug class best known for attacking tumors may also help your immune system remember them better. Researchers at ...

A man who was fully paralyzed is now able to stand after receiving an injection of reprogrammed stem cells into his injured spinal cord. The result, announced by researchers in Japan, marks a rare and ...

Scientists reprogrammed two widely used “chemically induced proximity” systems in a recent chemical science paper. CIP systems are very simple: when a small molecule is added, two engineered protein ...

Researchers have used reprogrammed CAR T cells, usually used as a cancer treatment, to target the senescent cells that contribute to aging and later-life diseases. After one treatment, old mice showed ...

In humans and other mammals, loss of neurons in the retina due to trauma or disease is an irreversible process that can lead to blindness. But unlike humans, some animals, such as fish, have the ...

A new study reveals that reprogramming specialized cells to become different types of cells, a key process in regenerative medicine, faces a major hurdle. The challenge lies in the DNA methylation ...

A team led by researchers has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other areas of the body, called neural crest stem cells, are the source of reprogrammed neurons found by other ...

Parvalbumin (PV) interneurons act as the brain’s rhythm keepers. By regulating local circuit activity and maintaining excitation–inhibition balance, they help stabilize cortical network function. When ...
