Researchers develop method to generate billions of cDC1 immune cells

Conventional type 1 dendritic cells, known as cDC1 cells, are immune cells that help initiate responses against intracellular pathogens and tumors.

Genetic family mapping uncovers hidden links across ALS and FTD

Researchers at the Macquarie University Brain Institute and Clinic have helped accelerate the search for disease-causing genes by building new genetic 'families'.

Researchers uncover how astrovirus spreads without destroying gut cells

Among the various viruses that sicken your gut, some at least leave behind a tiny path of cellular destruction as they replicate, implicating the guilty pathogen.

AlphaFold3 reveals molecular interactions driving T cell recognition

Researchers at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), part of City of Hope, have developed a new approach using the artificial intelligence platform AlphaFold3 to predict whether a T cell receptor will recognize a specific antigen based solely on its genetic sequence.

Synthetic DNA molecules enable precise targeting of cancer-linked genes

Researchers have developed a promising new approach that uses synthetic DNA molecules to target cancer-linked genes directly, opening new possibilities for future treatments, diagnostics and biological research.

Blueberries reduced blood vessel inflammation in mice, but only with gut microbes present

A preclinical study found that gut microbes help convert blueberry phytochemicals into circulating metabolites, including hippuric acid, that are associated with reduced vascular inflammation. In mice fed a high-fat diet, blueberry supplementation reduced inflammatory markers and monocyte adhesion to blood vessels, but these benefits disappeared following antibiotic-mediated gut microbial depletion.

Vanderbilt researchers create massive transcriptomic atlas of breast cancer

A new molecular map of breast cancer has identified novel forms of the disease and provides a foundation for selecting personalized treatments guided by a tumor's molecular characteristics rather than standard pathology alone.

Immune cell neighborhoods control cancer spread and metastasis formation

Published in Nature Cancer: Researchers at the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB) have discovered that immune cells build distinct "neighborhoods" around cancer cells.

New enzyme discovery reveals how breast milk feeds infant gut bacteria

Microbiologists have found that an enzyme, not normally associated with microbial activities in the human gut, to have a role in how some bacteria access key nutrients in breast milk.

New study identifies biological mechanism driving therapy resistance in advanced prostate cancer

A multi-institutional collaborative study led by researchers at the University of Chicago and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center has identified a previously unknown biological mechanism that controls cell identity and treatment resistance in advanced prostate cancer.

RNA-protein interactions reveal new coronavirus drug targets

A study led by researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine and University of California, Riverside (UCR) School of Medicine has identified new targets for antiviral drugs against coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

OGT expands range of CytoCell IVDR-certified FISH probes for hematological malignancies

OGT, a leading global provider of genomic research and diagnostic solutions, today announced the launch of four newly available IVDR-certified CytoCell® fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probes as part of its ongoing commitment to transition the CytoCell FISH portfolio from CE marking under the IVD Directive (IVDD) to the IVD Regulation (IVDR) ahead of the Class C deadline of 31 December 2028.

Scientists may have underestimated how much genes contribute to Alzheimer's risk

A large multi-ancestry genetic analysis identified 127 genomic loci associated with Alzheimer's disease, including 48 previously unreported loci, and implicated microglial and neuronal gene-expression patterns in disease susceptibility. The researchers estimated that common genetic variants account for 16% of Alzheimer's disease liability in European-ancestry populations, substantially higher than previous estimates, while demonstrating improved polygenic risk prediction that remained less reliable in non-European populations.

New computational tool simulates evolution of jumping genes

A genome contains all of the DNA of every living organism, but its contents don't stop there – most of these structures also contain snippets of DNA that can copy and paste themselves to "infect" a genome, expanding its size.

African nations seek decision-making power over gene-drive malaria tools

Gene-drive technology, which could stop mosquitoes spreading malaria, is so far confined to laboratories. But as researchers work towards possible field trials in Africa, questions emerge about who will decide how the technology is tested, governed and used.

Researchers uncover molecular pathway controlling bone resorption and tooth eruption

RUNX2 is best known as a master transcription factor of osteoblast differentiation. Mutations in, or haploinsufficiency of RUNX2 cause CCD, a skeletal disorder characterized by delayed permanent tooth eruption, supernumerary teeth and clavicular defects.

Light-activated molecular cages offer precise control over protein degradation

Researchers have created a molecular "cage" that keeps protein-degrading drug molecules inactive until they are exposed to low-energy red light.
