Researchers identify two key proteins that allow chandelier cells to connect with excitatory neurons. This "handshake" regulates brain signals and, when disrupted, may lead to epilepsy or autism.

New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells ...

Drug-delivering aptamers that can precisely target leukemia stem cells with enhanced potency have been developed. Delivering anticancer drugs with specificity and potency to cancer stem cells is an ...

This color-coded graphic shows different populations of cells in the mouse brain, each one targeted by one of the genetic tools developed by scientists at the Allen Institute and other institutions.

Capstan Therapeutics scientists demonstrate that lipid nanoparticles can engineer CAR T cells within the body without laboratory cell manufacturing and ex vivo expansion. The method using targeted ...

In multiple myeloma, plasma cells proliferate uncontrollably in the bone marrow, disrupting the growth of healthy blood-forming cells. If the disease recurs after treatment or fails to respond, CAR ...

Research teams have created a versatile set of gene delivery systems that can reach different neural cell types in the human brain and spinal cord with exceptional accuracy. These delivery systems are ...
