Human endogenous retroviruses that colonized vertebrate DNA millions of years ago have long been dismissed as junk DNA, but researchers now know that they may play important roles in cancer, ...

Multiple endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) in human DNA may be programmed to activate as cancer therapy. A recent study, led by scientists at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, expanded on a previously ...

Glioblastoma has remained one of the toughest cancers to treat, resisting even the latest advances in immunotherapy. But new ...

Glioblastoma has long resisted treatment, but scientists may have found a breakthrough by leveraging the body's own ...

Glioblastoma has remained one of the toughest cancers to treat, resisting even the latest advances in immunotherapy.

After years of research into xenotransplantation, the field is at a turning point—yet risks and ethical issues remain ...

Aging significantly impacts neurodegeneration, increasing risks for diseases like Alzheimer's. Research focuses on therapies to enhance cognitive function.

New research from The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research at Northwell Health has found that "human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs)," a subset of transposable elements (TEs) found in genomic ...

Genetically modified pigs with human-compatible organs offer a potential solution to the organ shortage crisis, with ongoing research focusing on modifying pig organs to reduce rejection and improve ...

Of particular concern are ones called porcine endogenous retroviruses that hide out in the pig genome. Again, CRISPR/Cas gene editing provided a solution: eGenesis made additional edits to its ...
