How stem cells can be activated to help immune system respond to infection

Monday, November 3, 2014 - 04:01 in Health & Medicine

Scientists show that two genes not previously known to be involved with the immune system play an active role in directing stem cells to fight infection. This discovery lays the groundwork for a better understanding of the role progenitor cells can play in immune system response and could lead to the development of more effective therapies for a wide range of diseases.
