Among the challenges in treating disease, including cancer, is wiping out malignancies, infection, contaminants or other ...

A newly discovered molecule disrupts cancer cells’ ability to repair DNA by triggering the breakdown of key proteins. Cancer cells can survive by repairing damage to their DNA—even damage that would ...

The first clinical trial to test the tumour-fighting power of a stem-cell-like class of long-lived immune cells suggests that ...

A new kind of CRISPR that destroys cells rather than gene editing them has shown potential for killing sick cells while leaving healthy cells untouched. The technology has largely been tested in cells ...

A newly identified weakness in “zombie” cells may open the door to more precise cancer treatments by turning their own ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have identified a key enzyme—RNase H2—that helps ...

A cancer cell (nucleus in blue, cellular ‘skeleton’ in green). Scientists have devised nanosensors that can measure the ...

Researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have discovered that some cancer cells express the YAP1 ...

Scientists have developed a strategy to boost the cancer-fighting power of natural killer (NK) cells, part of the immune ...

New research has identified a protein that could serve as both a biomarker and therapeutic target to weaken stem-like cancer ...

Allogeneic, or “off-the-shelf,” cell therapies promise something different: one donor’s cells banked and shipped on demand to ...

When activated by its target, the newly characterized molecule rips the genome apart, a lethal move that researchers can ...
