Using artificial intelligence, Garvan Institute researchers have found potential cancer drivers hidden in so-called 'junk' regions of DNA, opening up possibilities for a new approach to diagnosis and treatment.
We set out to identify genes that are commonly expressed in CD8+ T cells, killer immune cells that can drive anti-tumor immunity, across many types of human cancers.
Already at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, a group of Brazilian researchers pioneered in showing why SARS-CoV-2 infection tends to be more severe in diabetic patients.
Study explores the evolutionary significance of baby schema, highlighting how infant features trigger caregiving behaviors in humans and other animals.
In a recent study, researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine suggest the cell's messenger RNA (mRNA) -; the major translator and regulator of genetic material -; along with a critical protein called ZAK, spur the cell's initial response to UV…
A major challenge in developing a vaccine for HIV is that the virus mutates fast-;very fast. Although a person initially becomes infected with one or a few HIV strains, the virus replicates and mutates quickly, resulting in a "swarm" of…
