    In a landmark study published in Nature Cell Biology, Australian researchers,have revealed how COVID-19 can infect the human placenta. The research team grew placental tissue in the lab, using a state-of-the-art method developed by Professor Jose Polo and colleagues where human skin cells are “reprogrammed” into trophoblast stem cells (the cells that help a developing embryo attach to the wall of…

    NK cells are the first sentinels of the immune system that can recognize and eradicate transformed cells. Their activation without a need for additional signaling have attracted great attention on the use of NK cells as a promising option in cancer immunotherapy. However, the large-scale production of NK cells for successful NK cells therapy is a challenge that needs to be tackled. Engineering NK…
