MIT researchers have developed an experimental mRNA-based therapy that restored key immune functions lost with age in mice.

Researchers have used an experimental mRNA therapy to make old immune cells in mice behave as if they were young again, ...

As the immune system weakens with age, scientists have found a way to restore some of its lost strength. By delivering mRNA ...

Researchers at MIT have unveiled a way to coax an aging immune system into acting young again, using the same kind of mRNA ...

Researchers found a way to boost aging immune systems by turning the liver into a temporary source of immune support signals ...

French researchers have used a protein called receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) to revive the structure and function of the thymus in old mice. The thymus sits in front of the heart and is ...

Scientists hoping to discover better ways to boost immune function — which could lengthen our healthspan and protect immunocompromised patients — may have a new target, according to findings published ...

Microscopy images of mouse thymic epithelial cell (TEC) organoids. The left image shows a TEC organoid in expansion medium, which is a mixture of molecules used to keep the organoids in culture. The ...

One of the most baffling glands in the body is the thymus. It lies just below the neck and behind the top of the breastbone, and in all the centuries that man has been studying physiology, its purpose ...
