When many of us think about how drugs work in the body, we may first think about how a drug gets into the body, such as a ...

A team of researchers has successfully created more effective immune cells that can fight cancer without damaging healthy tissue. "This story goes back nearly 20 years," says Prof. Paul François. This ...

Cancer immunotherapy, especially using T cells, is showing a lot of promise in treating blood cancers. Bioengineered T cells, especially those equipped with chimeric antigen receptors (CAR-T cells), ...

Adhesion G protein-coupled receptors have a large extracellular region (shown in green and orange) that extends into space outside the cell. Almost 35% of drugs approved by the Food and Drug ...

A research team of the University Medical Center Mainz has succeeded in observing for the first time how G protein-coupled receptors in living cells actually respond to activating substances. The ...

MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL — New research led by the University of Minnesota Medical School demonstrates that molecules acting as “molecular bumpers” and “molecular glues” can rewire G protein-coupled ...

Researchers at the Medical University of Vienna have described a mechanism in metastatic colorectal cancer that has received little attention to date: A key target of existing therapies, the so-called ...

Balancing the immune system is a delicate act. If it’s too weak, infections and cancer can take hold; if it’s too strong, autoimmune diseases or transplant rejection can occur. Researchers have ...

Taste, pain, or response to stress—nearly all essential functions in the human body are regulated by molecular switches called G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Researchers at the University of ...

Though CAR T cells have been effective against certain blood cancers, they have not been for solid tumors. Now, a new form of highly sensitive CAR T cells aims to overcome one of the biggest barriers ...
