New Mechanism Links Mitochondria Dysfunction to T Cell Exhaustion

The immune system's killer T cells do a commendable job of detecting and destroying cancer cells. But the harsh environment at the heart of tumors often saps them of their vitality, pushing them into a state of permanent lassitude called "terminal exhaustion."

Mice Study Reveals Cholecystokinin as Key Driver of Obesity-Related Pancreatic Cancer

Obesity increases the body's need for insulin, forcing cells in the pancreas known as beta cells to ramp up insulin production to maintain blood sugar levels.

Psoriasis-Like Inflammation Limits Skin Cancer Growth

A study shows that psoriasis-like immune responses may limit skin cancer growth, challenging the view of chronic inflammation as solely tumor-promoting.

'Spiderman' Cells Trap Viral Genomes With Sticky Protein Webs

Scientists have identified a cell defense mechanism that mimics Spiderman shooting his web to ensnare enemies.

Unexpected SRC Localization Offers Promising Target for Cancer Therapies

For five decades, scientists have known about a notorious cancer-causing enzyme called SRC. But they always assumed it only appeared on the inside of cells, where it sent signals that fueled tumor growth and stayed hidden from the immune system.

New Method Reveals How Tumors Rewire Genetic Splicing Programs

Cancer is caused by faulty genes, but what also shapes a cancer cell's behaviour is how a gene's instructions are trimmed and rearranged before they are turned into the proteins that keep a cell alive.

Revive Penicillin’s Power by Exploiting Bacteria’s Hidden Weakness

When many disease-causing bacteria come into contact with penicillin, they do not necessarily die immediately, but instead enter a brief survival mode known as antibiotic tolerance.

Novel INSTALL Technology Achieves Non-Toxic Gene Integration in Multiple Cell Types

Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient's cells.

Study Reveals How Altering Cancer’s Protein Machinery Stimulates Antitumor Immunity

A new study led by Pierre Close's team (GIGA, Laboratory of Cancer Signaling, and WELRI Investigator) reveals how subtly disrupting the way tumors produce their proteins can trigger a potent antitumor immune response.

Study Reveals Microbiome Role in Protecting the Colon From Tissue Injury

The gut microbiome-the trillions of bacteria and other microbes that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract-drives a process vital for protecting the colon against tissue injury, according to the findings of a study co-led by Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University investigators.

Optovolution Uses Light to Guide the Evolution of Dynamic Proteins

Evolution is biology's powerful method of engineering. It works by generating many variants of DNA, RNA, and proteins inside cells and letting nature "select" the organism that performs best.
