Millions of people around the world have an autoimmune disorder known as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which can cause serious joint pain, swelling, and damage, among other symptoms. The disease is ...

Previously unknown access points in cell membrane proteins have been discovered, enabling laboratory-developed drugs to modify cell function. The discovery was made possible through computer ...

As people grow older, their immune systems do not simply slow down, they often become locked into a simmering, self-perpetuating state of inflammation. Emerging work now suggests that aging immune ...

The protein nanoparticles could help doctors treat cancer and genetic diseases without using modified viruses, which sometimes have harmful side effects. (Nanowerk News) In a demonstration that helps ...

Scientists reprogram brain cells to remove Alzheimer’s plaques with a single injection, showing a new approach to long-term ...

“As a result, treating pain may require the development of drugs that penetrate cells, are retained in endosomes, and disrupt signaling inside the cell.” In the PNAS study, the researchers focused on ...

Using CRISPR to modify certain immune cells could make cancer-fighting immunotherapy more potent for a broader set of patients. Two people who... CRISPR gene-editing may boost cancer immunotherapy, ...

Most gene-editing tools cut DNA wherever they’re pointed, with no way to tell a tumor cell from a healthy one. A study ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Every year, millions of lives are suddenly, swiftly transformed by a stroke, which occurs when a blood vessel travelling towards ...

MU researchers have found that manipulating a special cell in the lungs — called a T-cell or “resident memory T-cell” — can boost protection against the flu. The researchers found that changes can be ...

Researchers have developed a method that lets them genetically modify each cell differently in animals. This allows them to study in a single experiment what used to require many animal experiments.
