Antibodies and Immunology

Antibodies are produced by our immune systems to protect our bodies from unwanted substances, such as infections. When a harmful substance enters the body, antibodies bind themselves to the foreign substance in order to destroy it. In this hub, you will find a wide range of articles, research papers, and the latest news on antibodies and immunology.

New Method Reveals How Tumors Rewire Genetic Splicing Programs

Cancer is caused by faulty genes, but what also shapes a cancer cell's behaviour is how a gene's instructions are trimmed and rearranged before they are turned into the proteins that keep a cell alive.
