University of York researchers have received a £2.5 million boost from Cancer Research UK to advance pioneering work into blood cancers.

Bladder cancer might be caused by our cell’s response to a common virus which infects nearly everyone in childhood, according to new research led by scientists at the University of York.

Detergent-induced membrane solubilization is important for several biotechnological applications including membrane protein isolation, cell lysis and virus inactivation. The thermodynamic details of t...

Our scientists have discovered that platelets are swelling with information which could help us detect cancers earlier.

Abstract. Identifying cell intrinsic regulators of immune sexual dimorphism is critical for treatment of several immunopathologies. We show that Malat1 is

Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA01 is one of the major causes of disease persistence and mortality in patients with lung pathologies, relying on various host metabolites as carbon and energy sources for grow...

Bacteria from the species Clostridium butyricum encompass a diverse range of phenotypes. While some strains are used as probiotics, others have been isolated from cases of botulism and necrotizing ent...

Single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (smFRET) studies of highly structured RNA molecules are often frustrated by issues with efficient dye conjugation. Here, we develop a DNA scaffold-bas...

Transcription in trypanosomatids, such as Trypanosoma brucei, is predominantly polycistronic and involves unconventional RNA polymerase II promoters. This study uses precision gene editing, site-satur...

The increasing burden of Aedes aegypti-borne diseases, particularly dengue, is a growing global concern, further exacerbated by climate change. Current control strategies have proven insufficient, nec...

Blood Cancer Survivor Carol Miller was interviewed by That's TV on World Blood Cancer Day.

Antigenic variation is a sophisticated immune evasion strategy employed by many pathogens. Trypanosoma brucei expresses a single Variant-Surface-Glycoprotein (VSG) from a large genetic repertoire, whi...

In Leishmania parasites, as for their hosts, the ubiquitin proteasome system is important for cell viability. As part of a systematic gene deletion study, it was discovered that four cysteine protease...
