Medical researchers have used animals, particularly mice, to mimic disease and study biological phenomena. The origin of mice as a standard model system for scientific research can extend back to the ...

The work of Nobel winners on immune cells is now helping researchers fine-tune cancer treatments, showing how basic science ...

The secret to the naked mole-rats' extraordinarily long life may lie in subtle changes to just four amino acids, researchers ...

The discovery of regulatory T cells links genetic, cellular, and clinical research, bridging basic science and therapeutic ...

Immune cells must learn not to attack the body itself. A team of researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU) has discovered a ...

In a major leap for cancer immunotherapy, researchers have engineered a powerful nanoparticle vaccine that trains the immune system to destroy multiple types of aggressive cancer in mice. The vaccine ...

Once synonymous with hippies and hallucinatory experiences, psychedelic drugs are now being explored for their medical potential.

Two proteins ensure that cells can take up iron when needed. If both control proteins are switched off in mice, the animals develop severe anemia, as expected. Surprisingly, at the same time a cell ...

Researchers have identified how to encourage tumors to build their own immune hubs—structures that look and function like ...
