A new study has uncovered new genetic rules that determine how CD8 “killer” T cells choose between becoming long-lasting, protective immune cells or slipping into exhausted, dysfunctional states.

The National Institutes of Health failed to protect brain scans that an international group of fringe researchers used to argue for the intellectual superiority of white people. Credit...Ben Denzer ...

Targeted epigenetic engineering of gene expression in cell therapies would allow programming of desirable phenotypes without many of the challenges and safety risks associated with double-strand break ...

This figure shows primary T cells modified using two approaches. CAR receptors are introduced through targeted DNA insertion (top), while CRISPRoff mRNA and guide RNAs silence additional genes through ...

Want a bespoke baby? Check the beauty, brains, or brawn boxes on the embryo order form. Genetic tinkering is no longer science fiction — it’s a market without legal guidelines or societal buy-in. But ...

Collaborative research defines a novel approach to understanding how certain proteins called transcription factors determine which genetic programs will drive cell growth and maturation. The method, ...
