Results presented at Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections show that two broadly neutralizing antibodies can keep HIV suppressed for months.
A surprising mix of inherited and de novo mutations in 60 genes contribute to 10 percent of CHD cases. Many of these same mutations also contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders including autism.
New imaging reveals a built-in safeguard that allows B cell populations to rapidly expand in germinal centers without introducing deleterious mutations.
New study demonstrates how high-affinity B cells "bank" their best traits instead of rolling the dice and risking deleterious mutations, with implications for better vaccine design.
Most obese patients grow resistant to satiety signals from the hormone leptin. A new study shows that leptin sensitivity can be restored in mice, leading to weight loss.
A collaboration between Rockefeller, MSK, and Weill Cornell answers a longstanding
mystery about the basic biology of the hepatitis B virus, while also proposing a novel therapy.
Male fruit flies don’t just sing to their mates; they also use sound-cancelling wing-flicks to jockey with rivals. This new understanding of how male flies compete for female partners could shed light on how the brain balances cooperation and competition.
