Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by ...

Pancreatic cancer may evade the immune system using a clever molecular trick. Researchers found that the cancer-driving protein MYC also suppresses immune alarm signals, allowing tumors to grow ...

What if the very structures we thought were destroying the brain are actually trying to save it? A new study reveals that ...

Microglia, the immune cells that protect the brain, are thought to maintain a healthy brain environment by removing unwanted ...

CAR T-cell therapy has been hugely successful in treating certain types of tumours, and stiffening up cancer cells beforehand ...

Years before he conducted the research that would earn him a Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine, Shinya Yamanaka, MD, Ph.D., was a postdoctoral scientist at Gladstone Institutes, studying genes.

This transcript has been edited for clarity. This is the second in a three-part series on physician employee agreements. To submit a legal/professional healthcare question for future consideration, ...

The body’s “killer” T cells don’t just attack—they strike with astonishing precision, forming a tiny, highly organized contact zone that lets them destroy dangerous cells without harming their ...

When a parasite invades a cell, the cell’s mitochondria react by shedding their outer layers to form brand-new cellular compartments — or organelles — that digest molecular trash. Cells are swapping ...

Researchers are testing CAR T-cell therapy as a treatment for lupus, Graves’ disease and other conditions in which the body’s ...
