Nuclear pore complexes are critical for survival of circulating T cells, study shows

Nuclear pore complexes in the nuclear membrane not only control the transport of molecules into and out of the nucleus- they play an essential role in the survival of T cells.

New study launched to examine effects of rheumatologic agent on bone health

Researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery have launched a pilot study to see how a drug that treats several related autoimmune disorders affects the skeleton.

New research illustrates how beneficial bacteria establish robust gut colonization

The mammalian gut is warm, moist, and incredibly nutrient-rich--an environment that is perfect for bacterial growth. The communities of "good bacteria" in the gut, commonly referred to as the microbiome, are vital partners for the body, helping to digest fiber, extract nutrients, and prevent various diseases.

Targeted 'click-to-release' chemotherapy leads to potent antitumor activity in mice

Antibody Drug Conjugates are relatively new anti-cancer drugs. They consist of an antibody to which a cell-killing molecule (chemotherapy) is attached. Antibodies can recognize and bind to certain receptors (the 'hands' on the outside of a cell) in a very targeted way.

Cancer Center at BIDMC announces launch of new Immunotherapy Institute

The Cancer Center at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center today announced the launch of a new clinical and research institute that will build on BIDMC's long history of leadership in immunotherapy and cell therapeutics.

3D structures of nicotine receptor could lead to new ways for treating addiction

UT Southwestern researchers today published in Nature atomic-scale blueprints of the most abundant class of brain nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. A structural understanding of the protein, found in neurons, could lead to new ways to treat nicotine addiction from smoking and vaping.

New vaccine strategy increases number of tumor-specific cancer-killing T cells

New research published in Cancer Immunology Research by Drs. Esteban Celis and Hussein Sultan of the Georgia Cancer Center at Augusta University could serve as the stepping-stone in constructing vaccines with a greater likelihood of finding and attacking tumors in the human body.

Novel magnetic nanoparticles move from lab to first breast cancer clinical trials

Sandia National Laboratories materials chemist Dale Huber has been working on the challenge of making iron-based nanoparticles the exact same size for 15 years.

Scientists reveal detailed structure of virus that affects transplant patients

Researchers from the University of Leeds have revealed the structure of a virus which affects kidney and bone marrow transplant patients in near-atomic levels of detail for the first time.

Researchers uncover the mystery of B cell receptors

When a pathogen evades or overcomes our innate immune defenses, the adaptive immune system kicks into action. There are two types of adaptive immune responses: cell-mediated immunity mediated by T cells and humoral immunity mediated by antibodies produced by B cells.
