Cancer arises when genes are over- or underexpressed. New research explores how “disordered areas of proteins” affect gene expression.

Bitopic inhibitors may lay the foundation for a new approach to disease treatments, say UCSF researchers.

Blood and skin cancers are more sensitive to inhibiting the CDK6 protein. Breast, lung, colorectal and other cancers are linked to CDK4.

Researchers found that shutting down the effects of the abnormal collagen made treatments for pancreatic cancer more effective.

Researchers better understand how a SHOC2 protein structure plays a part in mutations in RAS genes, which often drive tumor growth.

Most pancreatic cancer cells have relatively few mutations on their surface to attract the attention of cancer-killing immune T cells.

A discovery in how cells absorb substances provides insights into certain cancers and may be applied to therapeutic drugs.

Known as a carbon nanotube, the implant can detect cancer-associated proteins and alert a devise outside the body.

An intravenous infusion of two immunotherapy drugs, Opdualag blocks activity of the proteins LAG-3 and PD-1.

There is no one “diet” that is right for sleep, and there are a broad range of foods that fit well in a sleep-promoting diet.

These tacos are a delicious package full of immune-boosting phytonutrients, fiber and plant-based proteins.

Enjoy this Thanksgiving in moderation. But know that I have a recovery guide for getting you back on track no matter how your holiday looks.

Elevated levels of a protein called RUNX2 in human lung tumors predict a worse prognosis.

In contrast, higher plant protein intake was associated with lower incidence of the disease.

Having trouble getting in enough protein and don’t know where to start?
