Nanoparticles could enable gene therapies for cancer and genetic disease that don't use modified viruses, which may cause new forms of cancer or dangerous immune system reactions in some patients.

Millions of people around the world have an autoimmune disorder known as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which can cause serious joint pain, swelling, and damage, among other symptoms. The disease is ...

The microbes in the human gastrointestinal tract can have a significant influence on human health and disease, and this gut microbiome has been associated with a wide array of characteristics and ...

The body's cells change their shape to close gaps such as wounds—with part of the cell flexing depending on the curve of the gap and the organization of cell-internal structures, a new study reveals.

All cells in the body contain the same DNA, but different cell types express different genes; skin cells express genes for the skin, liver cells express liver genes, and so on. This coordination is ...

Spatial confinement plays a critical role in shaping collective cell migration, particularly in regulating interactions between leader and follower cells and among follower cells themselves. However, ...

In a demonstration that could help pave the way for gene therapies with fewer side effects, several human cell types have been genetically modified with protein nanoparticles designed at University of ...
