Researchers have developed a drug that can overcome some of the barriers presented by tumor cells to evade the immune system, marking them for destruction.

Researchers have investigated the role of a gene called ARHGAP11B in the development of the neocortex during human evolution.

The fungus that commonly causes fungal meningitis has been shown to transform itself when in the body to enable it to spread to the brain and other organs.

Researchers have made discoveries about embryonic blood stem cell creation that could one day eliminate the need for blood stem cell donors.

To better grasp the process of the germ cell’s sex determination, a research team has analyzed germ cells in chickens using RNA-sequencing to predict the mechanism that determines the sex.

Researchers have developed a more efficient and accessible process to apply CRISPR-Cas9 systems in human pluripotent stem cells, which could greatly advance diagnostics and treatments for genetic disorders.

Researchers have discovered that Zika virus forces dendritic cells to stop acting as immune cells and instead produce lipid molecules for viral replication.

In a new study, researchers have uncovered a detailed mechanism by which tumors can skirt both the immune system and cancer therapies that leverage its power, such as genetically engineered CAR T cells.

Yale researchers have compared the proteomes of skin cells from 11 mammals, which, they say, will help scientists understand the molecular drivers of biodiversity and how these factors have evolved over time.

Researchers have identified that mutations to a key developmental gene in the stickleback fish confers a survival advantage, rather than turning it into a "hopeless monster" as previously thought.
