The gray portion of this schematic represents a nanodisc, where for the first time researchers were able to replicate the native membrane environment (red dots) of a T-cell receptor (cyan). One of the ...
Using genetic engineering techniques, investigators designed a novel type of cell to recognize and fight cancer. Using genetic engineering techniques, investigators at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer ...
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center's Ludwig Center developed a new treatment that selectively targets ...
Although scientists can learn a lot from cell culture and animal models, they cannot truly substitute for all parts of the human body, especially the brain. But scientists have now used human brain ...
Scientists at École Polytechnique Fédérale Lausanne (EPFL), and at UNIL-CHUV, University Hospital Lausanne (CHUV) and University of Lausanne (UNIL) have developed a computational method to create ...
A genetic mutation passed from mother to children in families affected by schizophrenia has now been shown to completely ...
Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas are slow-growing B-cell lymphomas mainly diagnosed in the stomach and termed gastric MALT lymphoma (G-MALT). Despite histological evaluation, ...
A research collaboration between MIT and Stanford has developed a new approach intended to help the immune system recognise and attack tumours more effectively. Instead of focusing only on protein ...
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a debilitating hereditary condition in which fluid-filled sacs form and proliferate in the kidneys. Over time, the ...
A new study found that a single mutation to the hemagglutinin protein of an H5N1 virus isolated from a dairy worker in Texas this spring switched the protein’s binding specificity from avian- to human ...
