In recent years, great advances have been made in the development of new successful immunotherapies to treat cancer. CAR T-cell therapy and antibody treatments are two types of targeted immunotherapies that have revolutionised areas of cancer care.
UH Researcher Receives $2M Grant to Innovate Computer-aided Drug Discovery for Breast Cancer
An international consortium of medical scientists has launched the Global Research Alliance in Infectious Diseases, GRAID, to help train local researchers to quickly sequence potential pathogens in developing countries.
The field of animal ecology has entered the era of big data and the Internet of Things.
Texas A&M associate professor Pushkar Lele is researching how H. pylori invade and cause infections.
One of the grand challenges with using CRISPR-based gene editing on humans is that the molecular machinery sometimes makes changes to the wrong section of a host’s genome, creating the possibility that an attempt to repair a genetic mutation in one spot in the genome could accidentally create a dangerous new mutation in another.
A study coordinated by a research group at the University of Helsinki paves the way for cell therapies for diabetes.
Tracing connections between neuron populations could help researchers map brain circuits that underlie behavior and perception.
A new data analysis tool developed by Yale researchers has revealed the specific immune cell types associated with increased risk of death from COVID-19, they report Feb. 28 in the journal Nature Biotechnology.
Curtin researchers have developed a new technique by studying the age of ancient grains of sand from beaches, rivers and rocks from around the world to reveal previously hidden details of the Earth’s distant geological past.
As mountain ecosystems are natural laboratories of global change due to their strong climatic gradients, they continue to be important ecosystems for climate change impact studies.
Fresh off successful direct involvement in NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and Parker Solar Probe (PSP) in roles that included optics, hardware, software, testing analytics, computational modeling and big data processing and dissemination, The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) is looking beyond the sky again.
The icefields that stretch for hundreds of miles atop the Andes mountain range in Chile and Argentina are melting at some of the fastest rates on the planet. The ground that was beneath this ice is also shifting and rising as these glaciers disappear.
Researchers have identified a species of milkweed that holds promise for planting on roadsides to improve conservation habitat for migrating monarch butterflies.
Case study of weather triggering the 2017 crisis points to how atmospheric rivers are impacted by global warming
The DNA helix within all living cells carries the template or code for the production of the many different proteins essential for life.
A Cornell-led collaboration aims to energize the development of more sustainable pharmaceutical products by employing electrochemistry to stitch together simple carbon molecules and form complex compounds, eliminating the need for precious metals or other catalysts to promote the chemical reaction.
New research suggests a "plausible pathway" for the emergence of functional ribonucleic acid (RNA), which could be a precursor to biological life on the early Earth.
Understanding the mechanism of how the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the virus responsible for COVID-19, evades the body's natural immune system is key to devising targeted therapies to stop the virus.
A team of researchers have now developed a robotic hand that does something similar - a breakthrough that could advance the field of assistive robots.
