Researchers create CAR T cells for cancer immunotherapy

In CAR T-cell immunotherapy, T cells taken from the patient’s own blood are modified to contain so-called chimeric antigen receptors (CAR), which provide the T cells the ability to target and eradicate tumor cells.

Mitochondrial DNA plays a crucial role in inflammation, study finds

Mitochondria are generally known as the powerhouse of the cell, however, growing research indicates that they may potentially be involved in inflammation.

New sample pre-treatment method enables efficient protein recovery

The cells’ proteins contain a huge world of information that, when unlocked, can shed light on the causes of many fundamental biological occurrences. To observe the properties of individual cells at the protein level, a single-cell analysis method known as “single-cell proteomics” is used.

Optogenetic control of mitochondria–lysosome contacts induce mitochondrial fission with spatiotemporal accuracy

Researchers from UC, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and the University at Buffalo demonstrated that light-activated proteins can help normalize dysfunction within cells.

Researchers analyze how cannabis cells make cannabinoids

Plant biologists have outlined the elevated “hacks” that cannabis cells use to produce cannabinoids (THC/CBD) for the first time. Although many biotechnology firms are currently attempting to engineer THC/CBD outside of the plant in yeast or cell cultures, it is still unclear how the plant does it innately.

Study discovers a molecular mechanism that confers special physical properties to chromosomes in dividing human cells

The Gerlich Group at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (IMBA) has identified a molecular process that gives chromosomes in dividing human cells unique physical characteristics that permit faithful transmission to the progeny.

Novel model system to identify new treatments for CF patients who continue to struggle without therapies

A mutation in the CFTR gene results in cystic fibrosis (CF). Despite the fact that there are many hundreds of identified mutations, not all of them can now be treated, leaving a sizable portion of CF patients without access to targeted medicines.

Scientists solve how RNA molecules reach their targets

Scientists claim that life does not come with an instruction manual, but this is not totally accurate. Each cell in our body follows the instructions provided by its DNA in the form of RNA molecules.

HIV latent cells produce a possible cure investigation

Researchers from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Vaccine Research Center (VRC) and their collaborators gave a presentation recently at AIDS 2022, the 24th International AIDS Conference in Montreal.

A Retro-Cascorder device records a cell’s genetic activity in DNA for days at a time

If you want to keep track of someone’s activities for a day, contact them every 10 minutes and inquire what they are up to. It would be simpler, though, to equip them with a journal in which to record their own acts.
