The immune system kicks into gear to fight back against viruses, bacteria or other threats. But an ancient process is likely defending us even earlier.

Bold ideas and cross-disciplinary science are revealing how cancer rewires cells, tissues and whole-body systems.

Epigeneticist Edith Heard on decoding the details of how X chromosomes are expressed.

Life-saving chemotherapy treatment can have a hidden impact on the liver later in life, so researchers are investigating how to protect healthy tissues.

The Francis Crick Institute has announced the researchers selected to establish new labs at the institute, following an international recruitment round that attracted a record number of applications.

Edith Heard, CEO of the Francis Crick Institute, discusses the need to break down biomedical boundaries.

Net-like structures made of DNA and antimicrobial proteins protect the body from infection by trapping and containing large pathogens. New findings published in the journal Science show that a DNA rep...

Respiratory viruses causing conditions like Covid-19 and flu are hard to control as they spread easily through the air. A new project between the Crick, Imperial and the Pirbright Institute asks if we...

Most cells share the same fundamental molecular machinery, but evolution has produced extraordinary diversity in form and function across species by subtly adjusting how that machinery behaves.

Uncovering the structure of the poxvirus ‘portal complex’, a channel used by the virus to release its genetic material into infected cells, could help develop new antiviral treatments.

How understanding inflammation could transform treatments from cancer to Alzheimer’s.

Distinctive patterns of DNA mutations in otherwise healthy tissue could help scientists understand the lasting effects of both cancer and the treatments used to beat it.

Molecular Haemopoiesis is an annual UK-European meeting on blood cell development, stem cells, gene regulation & leukemia.

Myricx Bio, a cancer therapy spinout based on research carried out at the Francis Crick Institute and Imperial College London, has reached an agreement to be acquired by Novartis.

A major transition in evolution is the shift from asexual to sexual reproduction in early organisms. But why would a yeast cell, which usually reproduces asexually, choose to mate with a very differen...

Often mutated in cancer, the ATRX gene helps cells copy their DNA without damage. Crick scientists have uncovered new functions that leave ATRX-deficient cancer cells vulnerable.

Pontus Skoglund has been elected to the prestigious membership of the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO), an honour that recognises outstanding achievements in the life sciences.

An early view of the immune response to bacteria in the lungs provides clues as to why some people keep TB in check, while others develop disease, suggesting new ways to intervene earlier and stop TB.
