Pitt Scientists Engineer “Living Eye Drop” to Support Corneal Healing

Tumors across diverse organs harbor microbial communities that can shape cancer biology and therapeutic responses, yet the field remains polarized by technical and interpretive challenges. In this com...

In a study published in Cell, Phelps et al. find a mechanism connecting exercise, gut microbiota and anti-tumour immunity; exercise induces microbiota to produce formate, which in turn enhances CD8+ T cell functionality.

Pandey et al. identify Cathepsin S (CTSS) as the direct protease that cleaves Gasdermin C (GsdmC) in the intestine. Type 2 immune-promoting microbes trigger CTSS-dependent GsdmC activation in intestin...

Exercise seems to help prevent cancer and reduce the growth of tumours, and that protective effect may be due to the way working out changes the gut microbiome

Gut Microbes Key to Understanding How Exercise Boosts Cancer Immunity

Exercise enhances antitumor immunity and immunotherapy effectiveness by increasing microbiota-derived formate, which boosts CD8 T cell function and may serve as a biomarker of melanoma suppression.

The trial, in people treated for colon cancer, showed clear evidence that an exercise program lowered the risk of disease recurrence and death.

The risk of developing blood cancer increases with age. The finding that a molecule from gut bacteria plays a part points to new ways to intervene.

American universities have given the country prosperity and security. The Trump administration’s attack on academic freedom endangers all of that.

In the wake of the Trump administration’s funding freezes and job cuts, some researchers are planning their next move.

Researchers at Stand Up for Science rallies voice defiance against the policies of US President Donald Trump’s administration.

To mark International Women’s Day on 8 March, six award-winning female scientists highlight women who have inspired them by pushing innovative research and creating opportunities for others.

"These cuts will cripple biomedical research and drug development in the U.S. We should be investing more in science, not less."

Berg explained that President Donald Trump's first tactic to halt biomedical research came with a general federal funding freeze, which a judge later reversed. His second tactic: Not updating the Fede...

NIH’s abrupt decision to cap indirect cost reimbursement at 15% threatens the critical infrastructure supporting groundbreaking biomedical research in the United States. This policy jeopardizes Americ...

Dr. Wilfried Ellmeier is a Co-Chair of the Scientific Planning Committee at the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS) and Professor of Immunobiology and Head of the Institute of Immuno...

US President Donald Trump is taking a wrecking ball to science and to international institutions. The global research community must take a stand against these attacks.
