Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine have identified a specific enzyme inside immune cells that keeps Toxoplasma gondii, one of the most common brain parasites on the planet, ...

Among the most promising tools of cancer therapy, engineered immune cells known as chimeric antigen-receptor (CAR) T cells have already transformed the treatment of blood cancers. Yet, despite their ...

A new study reveals how your gut bacteria can directly tell your brain when to stop eating, opening fresh avenues for appetite and metabolic research. Study: A gut sense for a microbial pattern ...

A new study shows how an anticancer drug triggers an 'outside in' signal that gets it sucked into a cancer cell. The work reveals a new signaling mechanism that could be exploited for delivering other ...

Mitochondrial defects are associated with the development of diseases such as type 2 diabetes (T2D). Studies in mice and in human tissues, by researchers at the University of Michigan, have now found ...

The recent discovery of glycoRNAs on the cell surface upended the world of cell biology. These glycoRNAs were found to form highly organized clusters with cell surface RNA binding proteins (csRBPs), ...

Cancer cells often invade different tissues by forming rounded protrusions called blebs. However, the exact mechanism behind this expansion remained unclear. Now, researchers at Kyushu University have ...

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, marked by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. What makes it more dangerous is the ability of cancer cells to move quickly through the ...
