UCLA Health Study Identifies Strategy to Boost Strength and Longevity of Cancer Fighting T Cells

Researchers at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have identified a promising new strategy to make cancer-fighting immune cells stronger and potentially longer-lasting, a discovery that could help improve the effectiveness of immunotherapies that use a patient's own immune cells to attack cancer.

Major Virology Breakthrough Identifies Third Known Family of Bacteria Infecting RNA Viruses

Thriving alongside trillions of bacteria in the human digestive tract is a vast population of viruses. Ever since one such denizen of the gut microbiome, known as picobirnavirus, was first spotted decades ago, researchers thought it directly infected human tissue and played a role in gastrointestinal illness.

Scientists Discover Molecular Cascade Behind Brain Dysregulation in Angelman Syndrome

Angelman syndrome is a rare disease with a single known cause: one missing gene. The lack of that gene, normally inherited from the mother, occurs in approximately one in 20,000 births and is associated with cognitive and mobility deficits that become evident in children when they are around 6 months of age.
