Current challenges in understanding the role of enhancers in disease

Bart Deplancke

Enhancers play a central role in the spatiotemporal control of gene expression and tend to work in a cell-type-specific manner. In addition, they are suggested to be major contributors to phenotypic variation, evolution and disease. There is growing eviden ...

Preclinical development of a humanized chimeric antigen receptor against B-cell maturation antigen for multiple myeloma

Jaume Bonet Martinez

Multiple myeloma is a prevalent and incurable disease, despite the development of new and effective drugs. The recent development of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)T cells has shown impressive results in the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractor ...

Do chance encounters between heterogeneous cells shape the outcome of tuberculosis infections?

John McKinney, Ophélie Rutschmann, Chiara Toniolo

The sum of all of the interactions between single bacteria and host cells determines if an infection is cleared, controlled, or progresses at the whole host-organism level. These individual interactions have independent trajectories defined by diverse and ...
