Homeostatic plasticity, the brain's method of preserving equilibrium in neural circuits, relies heavily on spontaneous ...

RNA bundled in lipid nanoparticles trains T cells in mice to eliminate cancer. Coupled with noninvasive imaging, researchers tracked the in situ CAR-T cells to assess their effectiveness and safety.

A protein-engineering strategy, in which a constitutively active form of an immune receptor is kept inactive by a peptide ...

Viruses and bacteria are always trying to sneak into our bodies, but researchers at the University of Missouri are discovering that our own biology may already hold the keys to fighting off some of ...

The H5N1 avian flu is circulating in cows and other mammals. Whether it will make a permanent leap to humans is another ...

H5N1 avian influenza has long been a concerning virus. Since its discovery in 1996 in waterfowl, bird flu has occasionally ...

Molecular glues, tiny molecules that connect one protein to another, are promising targets for pharmaceutical research. By ...

At the surface, the immune response to a flu virus is simple. Some cells recognize the pathogen and send a signal to the ...

By putting a carbon atom in place of a core oxygen, chemists constructed an opioid that blocks pain with less respiratory ...
