Targeting the WNT signaling pathway represents a promising strategy for cancer therapy. The field has evolved to include numerous inhibitors currently under preclinical and clinical investigation.

Researchers led by Dr. Wang Lei and Wang Bing from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have shown that the non-transcriptional activity of the ...

Efficient T-cell engineering is crucial for the success of CAR T-cell therapy research, but it requires multiple labor-intensive steps, including T-cell isolation, activation, and transduction.

That’s gene editing. On paper, it is merely the rearrangement of letters. However, the road to editing genes in hopes of a therapeutic benefit is difficult to travel. Additionally, researchers want ...
