Immunotherapy, which uses programmed immune cells to selectively destroy cancer cells, has transformed cancer treatment. However, cancer cells have developed immune evasion strategies, leading to poor ...

Aging, neurological diseases and our bodies' stress response are all linked to the tiny power plants inside each cell known as mitochondria. To function properly, mitochondria must first read ...

There's a molecule that our body makes from vitamin B 5 that is critical for all of the metabolic processes essential for human life. And when something goes wrong in that molecule's production, it ...

A newly identified identified cellular mechanism allows mitochondria to recycle localized damage and maintain healthy function. Mitochondria, the so-called "powerhouse of the cell," depend on a newly ...

Elizabeth Jonas first got interested in mitochondria by chance. In 1995, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Yale, working at the Marine Biological Lab in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, where she was ...

An international team led by researchers at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Dalhousie University, the University of Exeter (UK) and the Medical University ...

Andrew Monteith receives funding from the National Institute of Health. Research from my colleagues and I revealed that mitochondria play another key role in your immune response: sensing bacterial ...

Researchers at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center have discovered a potentially powerful weapon in the fight against head and neck cancers. The new drug, still in preclinical studies, attacks cancer cells ...
