To address the unmet need for a cure for RTT, the therapeutic potential of adult Neural Precursor Cells (NPCs) was ...

T cells are our first line of defense against cancer, but the battle tends to exhaust them. Now, scientists have found a way ...

By tracking the changes in prostate cancer cells over time, researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have found that activation of the MYC gene -; a well-known cancer-causing gene -; sets ...

It’s been almost a year since the Food and Drug Administration approved the first genetic treatments for sickle cell disease.

Here we show that the cell-cycle regulator p21 is involved in immune system function. T lymphocytes from p21 −/− mice exhibit significant proliferative advantage over wild-type cells following ...

A team from the Wistar Institute has demonstrated the role of Parkin—a protein implicated in Parkinson's disease—in the ...

Sickness-induced sleep is a behavior conserved across species that promotes recovery from illness, yet the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we show that interleukin-6-like cytokine ...

These cells deploy complex cytoskeletal rearrangements to recognize and eliminate potential threats 3. Even in the steady state, myeloid cells constantly survey their surroundings for potential ...
