By preserving fat tissue architecture, researchers created organoids that restore insulin function, paving the way for advancements in diabetes treatment.

One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they react during times of stress, such as when the temperature gets ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

Within tumors in the human body, there are immune cells (macrophages) capable of fighting cancer, but they have been unable to perform their roles properly due to suppression by the tumor.

Immune cells work to fight infection and other diseases. Different subsets work together to elicit a healthy immune response; ...

Planarian flatworms pictured in the Stowers Institute’s planarian facility. A recent discovery from Stowers scientists may help explain the flatworm’s extraordinary ability to regenerate — and could ...

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the cells that produce insulin—a critical hormone that regulates blood sugar in the body. Scientists at Scripps ...

Mary Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi were awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine on Monday for their collective work in the discovery of specialized immune cells that roam ...
