New research from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggests that transposable elements in various cancers potentially may be used to harness novel immunotherapies against tumors ...

So-called transposons are abundant DNA-elements found in every eukaryotic organism as a consequence of their ability to jump and multiply within the host genome. Their activity represents a threat to ...

New research suggests that transposable elements in various cancers potentially may be used to direct novel immunotherapies to tumors that don't typically respond to immune-based treatments. Jumping ...

The human genome comes chock-full of transposable elements—ancient snippets of DNA that once hopped around the genome. Cells have evolved ways to silence these mobile motifs, but a new study suggests ...
