Scientists at MIT and Stanford have unveiled a promising new way to help the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively. Their strategy targets a hidden “off switch” that tumors ...

Researchers in the lab of Jean Cook, Ph.D., chair and professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, have identified the cellular processes that occur when you take a cancer drug meant to ...

Background: The adult mammalian heart exhibits limited regenerative capability, primarily due to the postnatal arrest of the cardiomyocyte (CM) cell cycle. Aim: To elucidate the role of checkpoint ...

Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in DNA's shape have an important influence on gene activity and energy production.

Microsoft Excel’s new COPILOT function lets users generate, summarize, and analyze data directly in spreadsheet cells using plain-language prompts. (Microsoft Image) Microsoft is building generative ...

A comprehensive analysis published in Reserch illuminates how cancer cells hijack immune checkpoints on natural killer (NK) cells to disable the body’s frontline defense system. The study details: ...

Activation of the DNA damage checkpoint upon genotoxin treatment induces a multitude of cellular changes to cope with genome stress. After prolonged genotoxin treatment, the checkpoint can be ...

B cells are crucial component of humoral immunity, and their role in the tumor immune microenvironment (TME) has garnered significant attention in recent years. These cells hold great potential and ...

The immune cell repertoire is composed of many different cell types that are orchestrated in response to infection and other pathogens that enter the body. As a result, the body can defend itself ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to the function of motile cilia, the hair-like structures extending from the ...
