A study published in Cell Research advances a central idea in stem cell biology by identifying a checkpoint that controls the identity of many different types of stem cells across developmental stages ...

Natural killer (NK) cells are pivotal in the innate immune response against cancer and viral infections, with their presence in tumors correlating to better patient outcomes in various cancers.

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

Checkpoint inhibitors are antibody-based cancer therapies that unlock the immune system’s natural ability to fight cancer. These treatments work by blocking special proteins called immune checkpoints, ...

In a new paper published in Cancer Research, researchers at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center have shown that targeting a protein called TACC3 (transforming acidic coiled-coil containing protein 3) can ...
