New clues to the mechanism behind food tolerance and allergies
Study reveals how immune cells in the gut distinguish between food and harmful pathogens, shedding light on the origins of both food allergies and intestinal diseases.
Scientists finally know how cells build a structure that lets them migrate. What they learned could help treat cancer
Unpacking “finger-like” protein bundles that protrude from cells may lead to novel treatments for metastasis.ĚýĚý
Unique characteristics of a rare liver cancer identified as clinical trial of new treatment begins Ěý
Long classified as a subset of common liver cancer, FLC should be considered its own unique disease. Now researchers are testing a combination drug therapy that targets FLC tumors.
New mechanism for maintaining genome stability discovered
New research reveals how the RapA enzyme protects against R-loop cytotoxicity in E. coli.
It’s not just the winter blues—circadian rhythms have been implicated in diseases from dementia to cancer
Every cell in the body and up to 80 percent of our genes operate under circadian control, significantly influencing our overall health. Here’s some ways to mitigate disruptions to this daily cycle.
Intriguing science discoveries of 2024
From decoding the mysteries of memory formation to revealing cancer’s metabolic, neurologic, and genetic tricks, here are some fascinating discoveries that came out of Rockefeller in 2024.
What ants can teach us about the neurobiology of social behavior
Daniel Kronauer’s research on an unusual ant species illuminates the biochemistry and genetics behind complex social behavior—and potentially offers clues to the evolution of our own social brains.
Study reveals how unexpected shifts in cell populations are revising our understanding of the aging process
A newly created atlas of 21 million cells could upend long-held assumptions about how we age and provide fresh directions for anti-aging therapies.
A new class of antivirals could help prevent future pandemics
Researchers discovered a vulnerability in viral enzymes that could lead to novel treatments for diseases as diverse as COVID and Ebola, while also minimizing side effects and reducing the odds of drug resistance.
Is metastasis a hereditary disorder?
Mounting evidence suggests that metastasis, the culprit in the vast majority of cancer deaths, is in part driven by genetic disposition. Physician-scientist Sohail Tavazoie discusses the newest research into this phenomenon, and what it may mean for breast cancer patients.
