Researchers are creating "virtual cells" using AI that could revolutionize how we understand disease and discover new treatments. These computer models simulate real cell behavior by learning from massive biological datasets.
A new stem cell transplant developed at Johns Hopkins has cured sickle cell disease in 95% of patients, using half-matched donors like parents or siblings. The breakthrough means nearly every sickle cell patient can now access a cure that also preserves fertility.
Children with sickle cell disease now have a survival rate exceeding 95% thanks to breakthrough stem cell transplant techniques. New treatments are also opening curative options for kids who previously had no donor matches.
Researchers built the first complete virtual model of a living cell that tracks every molecule as it grows and divides. The breakthrough could revolutionize drug discovery and help scientists understand diseases like cancer without harming real cells.
Scientists at Arc Institute are building a "virtual cell" powered by AI that could revolutionize how we understand and treat diseases like Alzheimer's and cancer. The model learns from a billion biological experiments to predict what goes wrong in human cells and how to fix it.
Researchers created a virtual bacterial cell that copies its DNA and divides, just like real life. This breakthrough could unlock mysteries about how lifeless molecules become living organisms.
Scientists in China have discovered how to turn a single stem cell into 14 million powerful cancer fighters, potentially making lifesaving treatment available to thousands more patients. The breakthrough slashes costs and could transform how we treat leukemia and other cancers.
Researchers discovered brain cells may organize themselves using a surprisingly simple rule: stick close to your cellular relatives. This breakthrough could help explain how a single cell transforms into a functioning human brain.
Researchers in Brazil discovered a molecule that acts like armor for cancer cells, protecting them from natural cell death. By turning off this shield in the lab, they made aggressive tumor cells vulnerable again.
Japan just approved the first commercially available stem cell treatments for Parkinson's disease and heart failure, bringing hope to millions worldwide. Patients could receive these groundbreaking therapies as early as this summer.
Researchers successfully transformed human blood cells into immature sperm cells using stem cell technology and living mice. While mature sperm remain out of reach, this breakthrough opens new paths to understanding and treating male infertility.
Japan just greenlit insurance coverage for a groundbreaking Parkinson's treatment that uses stem cells to replace damaged brain cells. It's the first time regenerative medicine using iPS cells will be available to patients anywhere in the world.
Researchers at Lund University spent four years building a library of 400 factors that can reprogram ordinary cells into rare disease-fighting immune cells. They've already created six "recipes" and successfully made natural killer cells that attack cancer.
Jessica Ceja became the first person in Maryland to receive groundbreaking gene therapy that could cure her lifelong sickle cell disease. Her own cells were reengineered in a lab to produce healthy red blood cells, potentially ending decades of pain.
Three monkeys successfully walked through virtual reality environments controlled entirely by their brain signals, bringing new hope for paralyzed patients. This breakthrough could help people explore virtual worlds or control wheelchairs more naturally.
Researchers have solved a major puzzle in cancer treatment by learning how to grow helper T cells from stem cells for the first time. The breakthrough could make powerful cancer therapies cheaper and available to millions more patients.
Researchers in Taiwan have discovered how to revive exhausted immune cells that stop fighting cancer, potentially helping patients who don't respond to current treatments. By rewiring cell metabolism, the breakthrough could extend lifesaving immunotherapy to thousands more people.
Chinese researchers discovered a specific type of stem cell that acts like a master healer for bone fractures, potentially explaining why some breaks refuse to mend. These specialized cells can rebuild an entire bone from scratch after injury.
A 10-year research collaboration has revealed how specific lipids can trigger controlled cell death, opening new pathways for cancer treatment and protecting against brain injuries and other diseases. The breakthrough challenges what scientists thought they knew about how cells protect themselves.
