Researchers have gained a new understanding of the link between obesity and cancer. In the presence of excess fat, the immune surveillance system fails due to an obesity-fueled lipid accumulation in natural killer (NK) cells, preventing their cellular metabolism and trafficking.

Biodegradable nanoscaffolds have been developed to overcome a host of challenges in stem cell therapies for CNS diseases and injuries

Scientists have proposed a new experimental scheme to create custom-made mirror molecules for analysis. The technique can make ordinary molecules spin so fast that they lose their normal symmetry and shape and instead form mirrored versions of each other.

A new oral drug significantly reduced menstrual bleeding for women with the most common gynecologic tumors in the United States - benign tumors that disproportionately affect African-Americans, an international clinical trial found.

Scientists found a way of improving the crystal structure prediction algorithms, making the discovery of new compounds many times faster.

A minimally invasive patch developed by Purdue researchers delivers exact doses of biomolecules directly into cells, and lessens pain and toxicity.

Collaboration to develop disease-modifying therapeutics.

A small clinical trial using gold nanoparticles that act as tumor-seeking missiles on a mission to remove prostate cancer has begun at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth).

Embryonic cells retain a memory of the chemical signals to which they are exposed. Without these memories, cells fail to organize into distinct tissue types.

When cancer cells become invasive, they follow a movement pattern similar to marine predators in search for prey; their migration was tracked and was reverted back to a noninvasive type of movement.
