A review discussing the therapeutic potentials of NK cell biology has been published in the journal Frontiers of Medicine.

It also could lead to new, targeted therapies for other diseases. The breakthrough, described in Nature, revolves around ...

Natural killer (NK) cells play an important role in the innate immune response to cancer and viral infections, and their ...

They have unique cell surface receptors that are generated by randomly assorting genes. These receptors allow T cells to sense and respond to diverse types of infection. Tumor-infiltrating T cells ...

Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have determined the full-length structure of a blood pressure-regulating hormone receptor ...

Further investigations into estrogen signaling mechanisms led to the discovery of cell surface forms of estrogen receptors that were coupled to cytosolic signal transduction proteins. These non ...

New discovery concerning receptors used by coronaviruses to enter human cells Oct 27, 2023 New monoclonal antibodies targeting ACE2 receptor could treat the next waves of SARS-CoV-2 ...

A tiny, four-fingered 'hand' folded from a single piece of DNA can pick up the virus that causes COVID-19 for highly sensitive rapid detection and can even block viral particles from entering cells to ...

Immune cells are capable of detecting infections just like a sniffer dog, using special sensors known as Toll-like receptors, or TLRs for short. But what signals activate TLRs, and what is the ...

New research has revealed the diverse assembly and regulation of Type-A GABA receptors (GABAARs), which are crucial for ...

Immunotherapy is the brightest new weapon in fight against cancer. Thank Dr. Steven Rosenberg, who 40 years ago successfully ...
