Genetic analyses uncover cellular hallmarks of bladder cancer tumors that don’t respond, but interfering with one of those characteristics in a mouse model causes tumors to shrink.
A magnetically controlled device could have applications in studies of cell biology and biophysics.
A preliminary clinical trial finds that the personalized therapy improves survival rates and has no severe side-effects.
The antimicrobial drug neomycin protects mice from some viral infections, complicating the picture of the relationship between antibiotics and susceptibility to viruses.
Human naive T cells are far more heterogeneous than has long been appreciated, having implications for vaccine strategies.
The microbiologist’s research led to the development of the first human malaria vaccine.
Proteins and RNA aggregate into “membraneless organelles” due to liquid-liquid phase separation.
Mice treated with an immunostimulant had better outcomes when researchers blocked the expression of TNFR2, a compound that helps tumors evade immune attack.
In the presence of cytosolic DNA, cancer cells activate antiviral pathways that disguise them as immune cells.
Errors in segregation during cell division can lead to inflammation in daughter cells.
The nationwide experiment will initially include around 100,000 volunteers.
After implantation, the tissue developed blood vessels and became integrated into neuronal networks in the animals’ brains.
Many cities around the globe, including Washington, DC, saw shrunken crowd sizes, and numerous events turned into rallies rather than processions.
Researchers deliver small interfering RNAs loaded into nanoparticles into the ears of adult guinea pigs to regenerate hair cells damaged by noise.
