Drug-carrying DNA aptamers can deliver a one-two punch to leukemia by precisely targeting the elusive cancer stem cells that seed cancer relapses, researchers at the University of Illinois ...
The Mirkin Research Group, led by chemistry Prof. Chad Mirkin, developed a new nanomedicine that eradicated leukemia from cancer cells 64 times more in mice than current medication, and 20,000 times ...
In 2021, the lab of chemical biologist and Nobel Laureate Carolyn Bertozzi, PhD, professor at Stanford University, characterized a new type of cell-surface protein, termed glycoRNAs, that form highly ...
A hidden structure inside the cell is rewriting how scientists understand leukemia. Beneath the microscope, what looked like disorder turned out to follow a simple physical rule – one that connects ...
A cutting-edge therapy using base-edited immune cells is offering a major breakthrough for patients with one of the toughest forms of blood cancer, T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. By precisely ...
Drug-carrying DNA aptamers can deliver a one-two punch to leukemia by precisely targeting the elusive cancer stem cells that seed cancer relapses, researchers report. The aptamers -- short ...
A graphic showing, top to bottom, how DNA aptamers target two specific markers on a leukemia stem cell’s surface, enter the cell and deliver anticancer drugs, resulting in death of the cancer cell.
