Scientists at Scripps Research moved closer to attaining the holy grail of HIV research with a new vaccine approach that would rely on genetically engineered immune cells from the patient’s body.

A research team have found that Wipi3, a protein involved in cellular waste disposal, is crucial for neuronal health.

A recent discovery has lead to promising potential treatments for pancreatic cancer.

Data from the ChAdOx1 nCov-2019 coronavirus vaccine study suggests that one of the groups most vulnerable to serious illness and death from COVID-19, could build robust immunity following vaccination.

A European study deduced that bacterial changes in the gut that increase the levels of imidazole propionate, the molecule that makes the body's cells resistant to insulin in type 2 diabetes.

A team of scientists has now developed a new method to examine fungi and bacteria, their interaction with each other and with the human cells infected by them.

Researchers at CeMM, the Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, have now developed a highly scalable method which allows for the study of hundreds of proteins in parallel in order to monitor the changes of their levels and localization in the cell.

Short bursts of physical exercise induce changes in the body’s levels of metabolites that correlate to, and may help gauge, an individual’s cardiometabolic, cardiovascular and long-term health, a study by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) has found.

Researchers at Tel Aviv University (TAU) have demonstrated that the CRISPR/Cas9 system is very effective in treating metastatic cancers, a significant step on the way to finding a cure for cancer. The researchers developed a novel lipid nanoparticle-based delivery system that specifically targets cancer cells and destroys them by genetic manipulation.

Researchers have identified a hurdle towards an efficient conversion: the cell metabolism. The researchers achieved a four times higher conversion rate and simultaneously increased the speed of reprogramming.
