Research led by the Université Paris Cité, CNRS, France, has investigated factors driving variability in diverse immune responses to SARS-CoV-2.
Research led by the Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center in China has highlighted genetic risks for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. In a paper titled "High-throughput identification of regulatory elements and functional assays ...
Immunology research led by Harvard Medical School has taken a closer look at the role of B-cells in fighting cancer. In a paper, "B-cell-specific checkpoint molecules that regulate anti-tumor immunity," published in Nature, ...
Cancer biologists are yet to understand the mechanisms and cellular hierarchy leading to the developmental arrest in rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS)—a group of pediatric cancers, which remain enigmatic.
A study of patients with a chronic intestinal condition has helped demystify—but not totally solve—a puzzling disorder that is widespread in low-and middle-income countries, but is largely unseen in wealthier regions ...
A team of researchers including Jens Hansen, Rachel Sealfon, Rajastree Menon, and colleagues of the Kidney Precision Medicine Project, built on an existing specific human kidney tissue atlas relevant to health care at single-cell ...
