Researchers are one-step closer to finding the ultimate weight loss treatment – a signal in the human body that stops us from overeating.

A team of researchers at Boston University has developed a new way to engineer mammalian cells that allows for programming them to behave in desired ways.

Scientists have resolved a key question in aging research by showing how mouse immune cells of different ages respond to stimulation. Study demonstrates weaker response of older cells is due to their coordination breaking down, making their response to immune stimulation more variable. Single-cell sequencing technology allows scientists to profile individual cells independently to view cellular activity in high resolution.

UCLA researchers have developed a stem cell gene therapy cure for babies born with adenosine deaminase-deficient severe combined immunodeficiency, a rare and life-threatening condition that can be fatal within the first year of life if left untreated.

Scientists have created a veritable zoo of “organoids,” including livers, pancreases, stomachs, hearts, kidneys, and even mammary and salivary glands

A gynecologist named Konstantinos Sfakianoudis claimed to have found a way to rejuvenate aging ovaries with a blood treatment typically used for healing wounds. So far, the Sfakianoudis says, the technique has helped nine women nearing menopause who were having difficulty conceiving to get pregnant via in vitro fertilization.

A longtime product developer is bringing a peptide ingredient to the US market that has been researched for a unique property — promoting the growth of bone marrow stem cells.

Researchers have identified an immune pathway that promotes the formation of a cell that can develop into new tissues and organs.

Scientists combine CRISPR gene editing with single-cell sequencing for genotype-phenotype screens.

As I start to look at the emerging trends of 2017 from the vantage of IndieBio, where we see hundreds of biotech startup applications and technologies per year, a few key themes are already emerging. Even as political landscapes change, science and technology continue to push forward.
