A researcher is developing a patent-pending platform technology called LENN that mimics the dual-layer structure of viruses to deliver nucleic acid (NA)-based therapies to targeted cancer cells. A ...

Researchers found that rabies virus uses a shape-shifting protein to hijack RNA and control vital cell functions. Viruses are astonishingly efficient, able to take over our cells and control essential ...

When people eat, they ingest the nucleic acids that reside in all living things. The compounds in these acids could inhibit the growth of cancer cells, according to findings published in PLOS ONE by ...

Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are synthesized membrane proteins that enable lymphocytes to recognize and respond to the specific antigens of target cells. Despite the impressive efficacy of CAR-T ...

Monteil and her colleagues first investigated where the virus might attach to cells. To do that, the researchers randomly mutated single amino acids in rodent haploid cells and then exposed these ...

Two complementary studies led by researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS ...

Scientists have discovered that H5N1, the strain of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus currently spreading in U.S. dairy cows, only needs a single mutation to readily latch on to human cells ...

Purdue University researcher David Thompson has developed LENN, a system to deliver nucleic acid-based therapies to targeted cancer cells. His and his team’s research into using LENN to deliver ...
