News

The antioxidant glutathione discovered to play a key role in proper protein folding

The findings may lead to new therapeutic interventions for certain types of neurodegeneration and cancers.

Programming the immune system to manufacture its own therapeutic proteins

By editing blood stem cells, researchers show that the immune system itself can be transformed into a durable, boostable source of therapeutic proteins—opening the door to potential single-shot treatments for diseases ranging from HIV to cancer.

Novel tool could identify new therapeutic targets in complex diseases like cancer

Researchers devised a platform for mapping the regulatory nodes where genetic variations converge to drive changes in cell behavior.
