Mitochondrial Iron Accumulation Drives Perforin Mediated Cancer Cell Death

For decades, scientists have known that a protein made by T cells and natural killer (NK) cells in the immune system, called perforin, can kill tumor cells by punching a hole in the cell wall and injecting proteases called granzymes, which kill the cell.

New Computational Tool Resolves Evolutionary Paradox of Genome Expansion

A genome contains all of the DNA of every living organism, but its contents don't stop there – most of these structures also contain snippets of DNA that can copy and paste themselves to "infect" a genome, expanding its size. Precisely why that happens remains a mystery.

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.

Science Study Profiles Over 600,000 Cells to Map Gene Activity Across Entire Adult Fish

Viewed from above, Danionella cerebrum offers a rare sight in a vertebrate: its brain, visible through the top of its head. Since the species was adopted for neuroscience research in 2018 and formally described in 2021, the tiny, transparent fish has drawn rapidly growing interest for its unique biology.

St. Jude Scientists Discover Gene-Regulatory Pathway Protecting Gut Immune Balance

Trillions of bacteria live in the human gut without triggering an immune response. Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have now discovered a gene-regulatory pathway that helps maintain this delicate balance. Published today in Science Advances, they showed that a type of immune cell, regulatory T cells, co-opt a well-known general gene expression pathway called COMPASS to suppress inappropriate immune responses and prevent lethal inflammation and autoimmunity.
