Researchers found that inhibiting a problematic protein in the body helps immunotherapies and CAR T-cell therapy to better fight off melanoma.

A new multi-site study, co-led by researchers at the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and Wake Forest University School of Medicine, has demonstrated that a direct-to-patient digital health program can significantly increase recommended lung cancer screening for high-risk individuals.

A decade after winning the Nobel Prize, the UNC professor continues to push the boundaries of discovery while inspiring the next generation and building cultural bridges between the United States and Türkiye.

Experts at the UNC School of Medicine played a pivotal role in the approval of a new medication for pediatric patients that could also be used to treat other types of cancer.

In a surprising twist, UNC scientists discovered that SETD2, a tumor suppressor, also preserves nuclear structure during cell division—a hidden role that may explain its tumor-suppressive effects in cancer.

Duane McKay, 40, receives life-saving double transplant at UNC Hospitals after battling leukemia five years prior.

Researchers have discovered that RNA in Zika virus can freeze itself in time to further its spread in the body, revolutionizing how researchers study disease-causing viruses.

A new study by researchers at the UNC Thurston Arthritis Research Center at the UNC School of Medicine has identified 13 risk genes that can increase chances for developing osteoarthritis, jumpstarting research that could lead to new, targeted treatments.

Using technology first designed by Bryan L. Roth, MD, PhD, the Michael Hooker Distinguished Professor of Pharmacology, researchers at the UNC School of Medicine have engineered a molecular technology that can turn off pain receptors.

Researchers in the lab of Janelle Arthur, PhD, associate professor at the Department of Microbiology & Immunology at the UNC School of Medicine, have found a key process by which gut bacteria may be contributing to intestinal fibrosis, a major complication of an intestinal inflammatory disease called Crohn’s disease.
