Tested in animal models of acute myeloid leukemia, the new nanomedicine was dramatically more effective while also less toxic.

The same cellular renewal that keeps our bodies healthy might also fuel the growth of cancer. A UC Merced biologist has found that the brain could hold the key to stopping it.

Every cell in the body has the same DNA, but different cell types—such as muscle or brain cells—use different parts of it.

Although heart cells and skin cells contain identical instructions for creating proteins encoded in their DNA, they're able ...
