Mice Studies Prove Engineered Molecules Eradicate Tumors Within Eleven Days

A two-headed molecule designed by Stanford Medicine researchers hijacks one of the most common protein drivers of B-cell lymphoma, flipping it from its role as a promoter of cell growth into an arbiter of cell death.

Study Redefines How Cancer Cells Enter Senescence

Stopping tumor growth is only half the battle. Rather than kill tumor cells, many cancer therapies can only push them into cellular senescence, a state in which cells stop dividing but do not die. These "undead" cells will continue to release signals that reshape the tumor environment.

New Hybrid Compounds Fight Aggressive Cancers and Infections

Cancer patients often face more than the disease itself. Their treatment is frequently complicated by infections and other health conditions, meaning they may need to take several different medications at once.

New MOSAIC Microscope Captures Biological Processes Across Multiple Scales

Biology doesn’t happen at one scale. Molecular interactions unfold in milliseconds and nanometers, while disease-associated change such as in Alzheimer’s spreads across millimeters of brain tissue.

Experimental Platform Could Rapidly Deliver Next-Generation mRNA Therapeutics

In a new study, scientists from Johns Hopkins Medicine report that an experimental mRNA-based platform has the potential to help deliver next-generation mRNA therapeutics, including vaccines fighting against infectious disease, cancer and autoimmune conditions, faster and more efficiently than the industry standard.
