Scientists outline how the immunome - all of the genes collectively expressed by an individual's immune cells - holds the potential to provide researchers and physicians with unprecedented insight into an individual's health.

Researchers have developed a method to study the relationship between solid, difficult-to-treat tumors and their microenvironments.

A team of University of Alberta researchers has discovered a way to use 3D bioprinting technology to create custom-shaped cartilage for use in surgical procedures.

Tiny 3D models created from human stem cells that mimic vital aspects of the human nervous system have been developed in a step that could accelerate drug research for neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis.

A new genetic sequencing technique has revealed 21 subtypes of neurons throughout the mouse spinal cord and offered insight into how these neurons control movement.

Small changes in the structure of DNA have been implicated in breast cancer and other diseases, but they've been extremely difficult to detect -- until now.

Researchers have identified how natural human antibodies can block malaria parasites from entering red blood cells, potentially indicating how new protective therapies could be developed against this globally significant disease.

Wyss Institute’s organ-on-a-chip (Organ Chip) technology has been used to identify the antimalarial drug amodiaquine as a potent inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have devised a four-part small-molecule cocktail that can protect induced pluripotent stem cells from stress and maintain normal stem cell structure and function.

A new study is drawing the most detailed picture yet of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the lung, revealing mechanisms that result in lethal COVID-19, and may explain long-term complications and show how COVID-19 differs from other infectious diseases.
