We generally consider cancer a disease of aging, as the rates of almost all types of cancer increase with age.

Stress affects many systems in our body and biologists Marcel Schaaf and Erin Faught at Radboud University are figuring out ...

The miniature models could exponentially accelerate vaccine development, cancer treatment research, and improved health outcomes across a spectrum of diseases. The left image shows the immune organ-on ...

Scientists with the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC have created an engineered model of the supportive tissue found within a lymph node to study human health. Working with scientists at ...

A "hybrid" immune system approach may prevent or cure Type 1 diabetes (T1D) by combining blood stem cell and islet cell transplants. The method uses a nonmyeloablative conditioning regimen to prevent ...

Scientists at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio have achieved a groundbreaking milestone by creating the world's first mouse model equipped with a fully functional human ...

Study reveals how our immune system transforms across a lifetime—unlocking the potential for predicting disease risk and optimizing health before symptoms appear. Resource: Integrating single-cell RNA ...

The left image shows the immune organ-on-chip, where the organoids (right) are grown to study the response of human donors. The right image shows development of types of immune cells relevant to the ...

Virginia Tech scientists with the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute completed one element of an engineered tissue model that could advance medical and drug testing and provide a new tool for ...
