Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses), such as dengue and Zika viruses, transmit widely across the globe, posing threats to ...

A new strategy strengthens the bond between the T cell and a target tumor cell, improving the cytotoxic function of the T cell.

Modifications of the chromatin are crucial for the regulation of nearly all DNA-templated biological processes. Single-cell chromatin modification profiling can be used to assess chromatin ...

A team at UT Southwestern Medical Center has identified a structural trick that lets viruses translate their genetic code inside human cells, even when that code is riddled with “bad” codons the host ...

The human body has to protect itself from pathogens and infectious agents, and there are a variety of ways for the immune system to sense foreign invaders, and react to the threats they may pose. But ...

There is an explosion of single-cell genomics profiling technologies. Although major advances have been made in measuring gene expression and DNA accessibility, assays specific to epigenetic ...

A new tool called SigRM helps researchers study RNA modifications in individual cells, improving our understanding of how genes are regulated. Researchers have developed a new tool that will help ...

A cluster of recent studies has sharpened the scientific picture of how T cells switch on, tracking the molecular signals ...

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) has a breathtaking variety of biological functions, which far exceeds its classical role as a carrier of genetic information. The repertoire of this versatile molecule is ...
