Stay informed with the latest scientific research broken down by experts into 3-minute Digests.
In 10 seconds? Natural Killer cells are a type of immune cell that researchers are engineering to tackle blood cancers–which may cause fewer side effects than T cells. What’s the story? Our Immunity vs. Cancer series has dug into...
In 10 seconds? Researchers are proposing a new method to spot abnormal chromosome counts during in vitro fertilization. The non-invasive technique can help screen the genetic integrity of embryos’ before implantation and thus redu...
In 10 seconds? Scientists are using tons of ingenious methods to produce next-generation CAR-T cells that provide hope that this therapy may have improved success against solid tumors in the future. What’s the story? In our last...
In 10 seconds? You guessed it right – here is another study suggesting that we can drastically reduce the stress on the environment and slow down global warming. For this though, we'd need to give up some beloved dishes and sw...
In 10 seconds? Scientists have figured out how to use intricate cellular engineering to turn T-cells into enhanced cancer-killing machines–AKA CAR-T cells–that have been remarkably successful in treating multiple types of blood ca...
In 10 seconds? Scientists were able to pinpoint specific genes and the biological functions they support that are linked to schizophrenia. In the largest genetic study into the disorder, they used new techniques to compare the gen...
In 10 seconds? We continue our chat about cancer immune checkpoint therapies–which help our immune system attack cancer. One area showing progress is the quest for discrete biological features (AKA biomarkers) that indicate positi...
In 10 seconds? A century-old collection of birds’ eggs has helped scientists determine that birds are nesting earlier than they used to a hundred years ago. The reason? Climate change. What’s the breakthrough? Researchers have fo...
In 10 seconds? Immune checkpoint inhibitors are recently developed cancer immunotherapies that have helped treat advanced-stage cancers–such as skin and lung cancer. What’s the story? In our last Immunity vs Cancer digest, we lea...
