Stanford University scientists have found that erythropoietin (EPO), a protein identified nearly 40 years ago for its ability to stimulate the production of red blood cells also plays a surprising, ...
Pancreatic cancer uses a sugar-coated disguise to evade the immune system, helping explain why it’s so hard to treat.
MIT researchers have developed an experimental mRNA-based therapy that restored key immune functions lost with age in mice.
While getting older has long been linked to higher cancer risk, new research suggests that after a certain age, the odds don’t just plateau — they may actually drop. “The implications of this story ...
