The 3D structure of a twinkle protein has been developed for the first time
Researchers have developed a 3D structure that allows them to see how and where disease mutations on the twinkle protein can lead to mitochondrial diseases.
Scientists generate a mouse embryo model that develops neural tubes
The new mouse embryo model system promises to spur research into developmental health and disease.
RASA2 gene make T cells more resilient
New study finds that using CRISPR to block RASA2 gene makes T cells more resilient against cancer.
Scientists uncover how adult muscle stem cells are regulated
Researchers find that mitochondria’s shape transitions as they elongate and divide are in fact regulating the dormant state of adult muscle stem cells.
Researchers find CD39 inhibition could be an effective strategy for immunotherapy
Scientists have discovered adenosine could inhibit CD39, a molecule that suppresses the immune system.
New method by which T cells can react to lower doses of antigens
Researchers have discovered a way to ignite T cells, potentially increasing the scope and success of T cell-based immunotherapy.
Combining immunotherapy and virotherapy shows promise for treatment-resistant cancers
The study describes how oncolytic virotherapy can work with existing immunotherapy techniques, boosting the immune capacity to effectively target and destroy cancer cells.
Microscopy technique reveals hidden nanostructures in cells and tissues
Researchers have developed a novel microscopy technique to make invisible molecules visible by “de-crowding” to expand a cell or tissue sample before labelling the molecules.
A new strategy to overcome tumour-induced immunosuppression
Researchers have found that blocking key enzymes could boost anti-cancer T cell responses and resistance to immunosuppression.
New findings could lead to a vaccine that can offer protection against emerging COVID-19 variants
Scientists have discovered antibodies that are effective against many different COVID-19 variants.
Universal flu vaccine protects against influenza A and B viruses
Vaccinating mice with this universal flu candidate induced broad neuraminidase inhibition, M2 ectodomain specific antibodies and T cell immune responses.
How to tackle the immense challenge of delivering vaccines
Researchers have developed a safe and versatile platform to increase the thermal stability of vaccines and improve their transportability.
New generation of COVID-19 vaccines show promising results
Researchers have designed a COVID-19 vaccine to be less sensitive to mutations and equipped for future strains.
How T cells migrate from the tissue to the lymph nodes
Scientists have found that unconventional T cells migrate from tissue into the lymph nodes and influence immune responses there.
