KAIST Scientists Wake Sleeping Immune Cells to Attack Cancer: A Major Leap in Immunotherapy
Groundbreaking Approach: Awakening Dormant Immune Cells Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have unveiled a pioneering technique that reactivates the body’s own dormant immune cells to target and destroy cancer cells. This approach aims to simplify cancer immunotherapy by leveraging the patient’s existing immune system, potentially reducing the need for…

Engineered Dendritic Cells Harness Tumor EVs to Boost Cancer Immunotherapy
Unlocking a New Layer of Cancer Immunotherapy Immunotherapy has transformed cancer care by reprogramming a patient’s own immune system to recognize and destroy malignant cells. Yet many tumors deploy stealth tactics that dull the scanning power of dendritic cells, the immune system’s sentinels. Recent advances in cellular engineering, however, are turning the tables. Researchers are…

Biomaterial Scaffold Brings Regenerative Dentistry Closer to Growing Real Teeth
Regrowing Teeth: A New Frontier in Dentistry Tooth decay and loss have long relied on fillings, crowns, implants, and dentures. But a cutting-edge development in regenerative dentistry suggests a future where teeth could be grown biologically from the inside, using a specially engineered biomaterial scaffold. Scientists are exploring how this scaffold guides stem or progenitor…

Lab-grown Embryo Model Produces Blood Cells for Therapy
Breakthrough: Lab-grown embryo-like structures form blood progenitors Researchers have created embryo-like structures from human stem cells in the laboratory that spontaneously generate blood cells. This milestone could one day enable bone marrow–related therapies using a patient’s own cells, reducing the risk of immune rejection and expanding treatment options for blood disorders. How the model works…
