Autoimmunity may explain why an important immune system is absent in many bacteria
New findings from University of Exeter researchers reveal how bacterial immune systems can be harmful for their hosts and explain why they are not found in many bacteria. CRISPR-Cas is an immune system that protects bacteria against infection by viruses…

Researchers identify a possible cause and treatment for inflammatory bowel disease
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a category of refractory inflammatory disease, of which ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD) are the main types. Current studies suggest that IBD is a complex autoinflammatory disease determined by genetic and environmental factors,…
‘Innovative research award’ helps Colorado scientists block brain cancer escape routes

Study identifies key biological mechanism that puts men at higher risk of cancer than women
Scientists discover link between ALS genes
Study holds promise for ALS treatments
Activation of a distinct genetic pathway can slow the progress of metastatic breast cancer
Metastasis, the spread of tumour cells to distant sites, is the major cause of death for people impacted by cancer. With no therapeutic cure available, it is clear that new treatments are needed urgently. In a study published today in…
