Non-essential amino acids such as glutamine have been known to be required for T cell general activation through sustaining basic biosynthetic processes, including nucleotide biosynthesis, ATP ...

An international research group led by The University of Osaka has developed scODIN, a novel computational tool to classify cell types from ...

Engineered bacteria reprogram tumor macrophages and direct copper into cancer cells, triggering cell death and systemic immunity without damaging healthy tissue.

Some of our biggest threats can come in the tiniest forms—viruses and bacteria. Thankfully, we are born with a built-in ...

The less time a tick has to feed, the less saliva it can pump in, and the fewer tricks it can use to tilt the odds. For ...

Researchers have found a new way to prompt the immune system to kill cells infected with cytomegalovirus (CMV), a life-threatening infection that is particularly deadly in immunocompromised people.

It creates a reusable function that takes three inputs: actual sales, sales quota, and a weighting factor. It returns a ...

Now, researchers have made a surprising and exciting discovery. In two recent studies published in the scientific journals Nature Cell Biology and Life Metabolism, scientists found that a mineral ...

Canada has a strong history in medical discoveries, like insulin and treatments for HIV/AIDS. Today, around 2,000 ...

Scientists at Feinberg are reshaping scientific understanding of the cell's tiniest components—structures once thought to be ...

Telomere damage drives T cell exhaustion. Antioxidants restored their cancer-fighting strength in mice. Tumor environments place heavy stress on immune cells that fight cancer. Limited oxygen, ...

Tumors are stressful places for cancer-fighting immune cells. Low oxygen, high acid levels, and other stressors put strain on ...
