Phagocyte Mutation Interferes with Immune System Control

A mutation causing production of an inactive form of the CX3CR1 (C-X3-C motif chemokine receptor 1) protein in immune system mononuclear phagocytes has been identified as major contributor to the development of Crohn's disease and other types of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). More...

Genetically Engineered Bacteria Inhibit Cancer in Model

A novel method for preventing and treating colorectal cancer is based on a genetically engineered bacterium that binds to the cancer cells and converts chemicals in foods that have been ingested into compounds that kill the tumor. More...
