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

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

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 ...

A trio of mRNA molecules could help guard against the harmful effects of aging on immune cells, a study in mice finds.

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
