The ability of immune cells—particularly CD8 + T cells—to launch a rapid burst of proliferation inside tumors is key to the success of modern day cancer immunotherapies. However, the factors and ...

This balance ensures that cell lysis occurs at the optimal moment despite the underlying randomness of the processes involved. "Previous studies had not explored this specific interaction between ...

Studying the movement of tiny cells is no small task. For chromatin, the group of DNA, RNA, and protein macromolecules packed within our genome, motion is an integral part of its active role as a ...

Lipid nanoparticles without drugs can make some cancer cells swell and burst, offering a new way to target tumors resistant to existing treatments. (Nanowerk Spotlight) The ability to selectively ...

Scientists from Tokyo University of Science, Japan, have identified a set of ‘signature’ genes that can determine whether cancer-fighting T cells will multiply or stall within the tumor. Their ...
