How hungry fat cells could someday starve cancer to death

Liposuction and plastic surgery aren't often mentioned in the same breath as cancer. But they are the inspiration for a new approach to treating cancer that uses engineered fat cells to deprive tumors of nutrition.

Gene-edited cells could halt multiple sclerosis progression

Scientists have used gene-editing techniques to boost the repair of nerve cells damaged in multiple sclerosis, a study shows. The innovative method, which was tested in mice, supports the development of cells that can repair ...

Using molecular scissors to improve CAR-T cell therapy

Mayo Clinic researchers mined the molecular foundations of cancer and uncovered a new reason chimeric antigen receptor (CAR-T cell therapy) fails in some patients. This discovery has fueled new strategies that incorporate ...

Finding the right pathway to reduce fat accumulation in the liver

Using a novel stem cell platform, a team of MUSC researchers has identified a pathway that could be targeted by drugs to reduce fat accumulation in patients with a common form of fatty liver disease known as metabolic dysfunction-associated ...
