UCSF scientists found a precise way to turn on cancer-fighting immune cells inside the body. This more potent form of CAR-T ...

A lipid hidden within cells called phosphatidylserine reveals how the body initiates the removal of threats and cellular debris.

A protein already targeted by FDA-approved cancer drugs may also help the body fight influenza, according to new research ...

The powerful gene-editing technique CRISPR–Cas9 might offer a way to make safer, more effective cancer-fighting immune cells ...

"The immune system tries to 'see' mutant proteins that give the tumor away, and in turn cancer cells try to lose those mutations, like donning an invisibility cloak." Death of a few cells within ...

Researchers have discovered that aging may fundamentally reshape how lung cancer spreads. A stress-response protein called ATF4 appears to help tunbsmors metastasize in older patients, pointing to a ...

A redesigned cancer immunotherapy is showing striking early results after decades of disappointment with similar drugs. Researchers engineered a more powerful CD40 agonist antibody and changed how ...

Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) gathers inside a growing membrane bleb, creating a local increase in water pressure. This pressure draws in water and pushes the cell membrane ...

Cancer is caused by faulty genes, but what also shapes a cancer cell's behavior is how a gene's instructions are trimmed and ...
