RNA steps up to protect the genome from DNA knots

Not all DNA looks like the familiar twisted ladder. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes. One such structure, the G-quadruplex (G4), looks like a knot.

Boosting CAR T cell survival to improve solid tumor therapy

Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)-T cells are a promising cancer therapy that are made from the patient's own T cells, which are reprogrammed to fight their cancer. One of the limitations of CAR-T cell therapy is the ability of these cells to survive long enough to target the entire tumor.
