Making T-Cell receptor gene therapy safer by domain swapping
The human body produces T cells to recognize and fight disease. Each T cell has a unique T cell receptor (or TCR) on its surface that surveils small fragments of proteins presented by other cells. Upon detecting…

Synthetic binding protein called "NS1 Monobody" found to inhibit common cancer causing (RAS) mutation
Monobody NS1 binds to H-RAS or K-RAS protein and blocksRAS function by disrupting the protein’s ability to form active molecular pairs. Credit: John P. O’Bryan, et al. Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have identified a new…
