Growing cells in the laboratory is an art that humans have mastered decades ago. Recreating entire three-dimensional tissues is much more challenging. Researchers are developing a new hydrogel-based ...

Scientists have discovered a new immunotherapy strategy that reduces cancer recurrence in mouse experimental models. The ...

A team of researchers has successfully created more effective immune cells that can fight cancer without damaging healthy tissue.

The immune system must be able to rapidly target invaders such as viruses while avoiding innocuous stimuli, or allergies may develop.

Harvard no longer has a primate research center. But in 2009, Harvard’s Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering opened to focus on studying human disease using human cells and tissues.

From a cubic millimeter of brain tissue, scientists have constructed a precise, 3D map of the activity in a mouse’s brain, detailing 84,000 neurons and more than 500 million synapses.

A recent study has uncovered a potential breakthrough in treating osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), a debilitating bone disease that causes severe pain and joint collapse.

A new Tufts University study finds that not getting enough vitamin K, found in leafy greens like spinach and kale, could harm ...

Cancer drugs that inhibit CDK7 rapidly shut down pathways responsible for cell proliferation within minutes. For organs to ...

What’s it like to try to keep a federally funded research lab afloat when your institution has seemingly been singled out by the government as Public Enemy No. 1?

In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have found that the birth of new brain cells in adults plays a key role in verbal ...

Scientists have identified a previously unknown type of neural stem cell (pNSC) that exists outside the brain and spinal cord ...
