Immunologists from the Institute have been the first to uncover a role for a family of RNA binding proteins in the function of regulatory T cells in the immune system. As their name suggests, ...

The intestinal epithelium plays a crucial role in maintaining gut health and homeostasis. It serves as a barrier that protects the body from pathogens and regulates nutrient absorption. Recent ...

In the march of metastasis, a molecular trail of crumbs guides some cancer cells from the primary tumor to establish new ...

An engineered viral protein enhanced the anticancer function of T cells in mice, suggesting a new strategy to improve immunotherapy. Courtney and his team sought to exploit this property of TIP to ...

VIB researchers and colleagues have discovered a mechanism through which melanoma cells adapt and switch between two major ...

A research team led by Prof. Wang Yi and Wei Haiming from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), in ...

Dietary sugar-stress induced growth retardation in Drosophila is an outcome of altered macrophage metabolic state.

When starved of oxygen during a heart attack or stroke, cells unleash a flurry of emergency measures to protect themselves ...

Researchers have found that serum from younger blood can be combined with bone marrow cells and injected into older skin cells, producing rejuvenating effects. This is known as heterochronic ...

Brian Glancy, a senior investigator in the Muscle Energetics Laboratory, researches how mitochondrial and contractile networks are optimized within muscle cells to maintain energy balance.

The intestinal epithelium forms a dynamic barrier that not only mediates nutrient absorption but also provides a critical line of defence against microbial pathogens. Its homeostasis is maintained ...
