A cancer cell behaves differently from a healthy cell, with unique features that enable rapid growth and bypass quality controls. Rice University's Natasha Kirienko is interested in finding these unique features and exploiting ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a strategy that could help chimeric antigen receptor-T cell therapy, or CAR-T cell therapy, overcome a major barrier to treating solid tumors: Cancer cells can change in ways that allow ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have identified a previously unknown role for B cells, adaptive immune cells, in triggering and sustaining colitis as a side effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors, ...

Researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have identified a protein that may help an aggressive form of breast cancer spread to the brain and escape the body's immune defenses.

Getting your neck adjusted by a chiropractor does not appear to raise the risk of a rare but serious artery injury, according to a large observational study from a multidisciplinary collaboration including researchers at ...

Coffee is best known, and perhaps most valued, for its caffeine and its ability to make us feel more awake and alert. But coffee is much more than caffeine dissolved in hot water.

The eyes are more than lenses to the outside world; they can also be windows that offer a glimpse into what's happening inside our bodies. What if the eyes could help us understand how attention shifts from one moment to ...

Neuroscientists and medical researchers now have a wide range of imaging techniques to study the brain and its activity. One of the most widely used is functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), a noninvasive technique ...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is associated with more than 1,200 risk genes, raising a fundamental question: Do these diverse genetic changes affect the brain in entirely different ways, or do they converge on shared biological ...

Researchers from the Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) at the Keck School of Medicine of USC have developed a new, noninvasive way to examine how blood flow and cellular organization ...

Researchers at the University of Konstanz have demonstrated at a molecular level how bacteria in the human gut influence the entire body. Among other things, they can lower blood sugar levels and reduce fatty liver disease. ...
