Cancer, we are told, is a disease of the genes. It originates in mutations in the DNA. But a paper published by a Weizmann Institute group in Cell Reports flips that idea sideways by about 90 degrees: For at least some types of the disease, the healthy, non-mutated version of a gene is no less of a driving force behind the development of cancer than its mutated form.

While patient factors are critical in determining mortality risks, specific genes are linked to golden staph's antibiotic resistance, along with the bacteria's ability to linger in the blood.

A vaccine designed to protect against three different deadly coronaviruses shows success in mouse studies, demonstrating the viability of a pan-coronavirus vaccine developed by researchers at the Duke Human Vaccine Institute.

<p>Scientists at Gladstone Institutes have discovered that APOE4-producing neurons release an immune signaling molecule called HMGB1 at much higher rates than neurons producing other APOE variants. Upon release, HMGB1 activates brain immune cells called microglia, which then trigger inflammation and the degeneration of neurons.</p>

Duke scientists optimistic about early results for new type of coronavirus vaccine.

A vaccine designed to protect against three different deadly coronaviruses shows promise in mouse studies, researchers report.

Researchers at Mays Cancer Center at The University of Texas Health Science at San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio) have identified protein markers that could signal for early development of metastatic lung cancer, providing possibilities for new treatment.

Celebrating a significant achievement in NAD+ research, these findings contribute to the mounting evidence indicating that NR may serve as a proactive safeguard against inflammatory cytokines in...

A new study finds complexin is a key protein for regulating neural communication. New research finds neurons stochastically generated up to eight different versions of complexin release, which could vary how they communicate with other cells.
