How new loops in DNA packaging help us make diverse antibodies: A study ties together chromatin loops and V(D)J recombination to explain how the immune system achieves antibody diversity
Diversity is good, especially when it comes to antibodies. It’s long been known that a gene assembly process called V(D)J
CAR T-cell therapy may be harnessed to treat heart disease: Immunotherapy reduces cardiac fibrosis and restores heart function in mice after cardiac injury
CAR T-cell therapy, a rapidly emerging form of immunotherapy using patients’ own cells to treat certain types of cancers, may
Bacteria made to mimic cells, form communities: Synthetic biologists prompt dividing bacteria to differentiate like stem cells
Rice University scientists have found a way to engineer a new kind of cell differentiation in bacteria, inspired by a
Genome research shows that the body controls the integrity of heritable genomes
Scientists have presented new findings that challenge established concepts of genetic inheritance. They have proven that somatic cells of the
New technique helps create more personalized therapies for people with advanced cancers
Being able to identify targets for adoptive cell therapies is one of the first steps in developing personalized treatments for
How the mosquito immune system fights off the malaria parasite
A new study from Iowa State University entomologists describes how mosquitoes fight off parasites that cause malaria, a disease that
Cancer cell’s ‘self eating’ tactic may be its weakness
Cancer cells use a bizarre strategy to reproduce in a tumor’s low-energy environment; they mutilate their own mitochondria! Researchers at
Breakthrough in how cells link together has implications in the proliferation of cancer
For cancer to be successful — from its point of view, anyway — the disease has to find a way
Newly discovered immune cells at the frontline of HIV infection: New cells are more susceptible to HIV infection and transmit virus to other cells
Researchers at The Westmead Institute for Medical Research have discovered brand new immune cells that are at the frontline of
