One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they react during times of stress, such as when the temperature gets ...

Researchers have developed a method that lets them genetically modify each cell differently in animals. This allows them to study in a single experiment what used to require many animal experiments.

Previously unknown access points in cell membrane proteins have been discovered, enabling laboratory-developed drugs to modify cell function. The discovery was made possible through computer ...

Millions of people around the world have an autoimmune disorder known as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which can cause serious joint pain, swelling, and damage, among other symptoms. The disease is ...

For the first time, a new gene editing technology called base editing was used to modify immune cells and successfully treat a teen with treatment-resistant leukemia. A month afterward, 13-year-old ...

As people grow older, their immune systems do not simply slow down, they often become locked into a simmering, self-perpetuating state of inflammation. Emerging work now suggests that aging immune ...

“As a result, treating pain may require the development of drugs that penetrate cells, are retained in endosomes, and disrupt signaling inside the cell.” In the PNAS study, the researchers focused on ...

Cancer cells that have broken away from a primary tumor can lurk in the body for years in a dormant state, evading immune ...

Medical innovations typically take 17 years from the time a lightbulb goes off in a scientist's head until the first person benefits. But every once in a while, an idea is so powerful and so profound ...

Every year, millions of lives are suddenly, swiftly transformed by a stroke, which occurs when a blood vessel travelling towards the brain becomes obstructed, causing neurons to die off. Strokes are ...

Using CRISPR to modify certain immune cells could make cancer-fighting immunotherapy more potent for a broader set of patients. After undergoing a new form of experimental therapy, Parkville resident ...

New Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center research reveals how dormant metastatic cancer cells protect themselves from the ...
