Scientists uncover a new “recipe” that shows how exhausted T cells can be reprogrammed to regain their ability to attack tumors.

The cells that make up our bodies are constantly communicating with each other, sometimes directly by physical touch. These interactions allow cells to respond to their neighbors, adapt to their ...

Know your enemy, know yourself. It’s a centuries-old strategy. But even in the present-day war against cancer, achieving it remains elusive. In many cases, cancer cells blend in with healthy ones.

The Trade-off Between Physiological Authenticity and Experimental Convenience: Navigating the Cellular Foundation of ...

Umbilical cord blood transplantation has transformed the treatment options for patients with blood cancers and other ...

A surprising amount of the DNA sequence in the genes of humans and other higher organisms ends up on the cutting-room floor, so to speak, spliced out by the cellular machinery that turns genetic code ...

Scientists discovered key genetic factors that determine whether a T cell acts as a powerful disease fighter or enters an ineffective, exhausted state. Turning off two transcription factors allowed ...

A Japanese study of more than 7,400 patients has identified a genetic mismatch that sharply increases the risk of severe acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) following umbilical cord blood ...

The rise of gene editing forces regulators to confront a difficult question: How to protect fair play in the age of genomic medicine.

Golden retrievers are one of the most popular breeds of dogs. But research shows they have up to a 65% chance of dying from cancer. In a new study, University of California, Davis, researchers set out ...
