A team has imaged the process that the body uses to stabilise DNA, which could be used to develop therapies for conditions such as cancer.
Researchers have discovered a microprotein that acts as a regulator of cell stress, which could be used in developing therapies for a wide range of conditions.
A new study has discovered two enzymes which regulate a biological switch that controls the immune system, providing the potential to develop targeted therapies.
A new study has shown the specific cellular mechanisms that limit the ability of CD8 T cells to infiltrate the tumour microenvironment, which could guide new immunotherapeutic strategies in cancer.
A machine-learning algorithm has been created that automates high-throughput screens of epigenetic medicines.
Regulator genes and proteins have been identified on circulating tumour cells in mice which allow them to target other organs in the body.
A new mechanism by which cancer cells become resistant to chemotherapy has been found which could lead to a new target for drugs.
A new study into the enzyme Cdc34 may make it possible to target the enzyme specifically to develop new cancer therapeutics.
A therapy has been developed which uses a synthetic RNA molecule developed to fight viruses to trigger an immune response against tumours in mice.
A study has found a selective inhibitor for an enzyme that allows cancer cells to mutate and become resistant to treatments.
A team has used viral gene editing and CRISPR to form a system that marks tumours for destruction, potentially improving immunotherapies.
A new algorithm has been developed which personalises which cancer mutations are best targets for immunotherapy.
New protein-painting technology could lead to developing cancer immunotherapy medicines that can be administered as a pill.
