Battle Distinguished Cancer Research Award along with Jenny P.Y. Ting, PhD, 黑料网 Lineberger member and William Rand Kenan Professor of Genetics,

With a $1.74 million grant from the NIH, 黑料网 Lineberger researchers led by H. Shelton Earp, MD, will study a potential new strategy for improving immunotherapy drug responses in patients with melanoma.

Alison Xiaoqiao Xie, research assistant professor in Ken McCarthy's lab, is first author on paper published in JCI Insight this week. Ken D. McCarthy, professor of pharmacology, is senior author and Jakovin J. Lee, is a co-author.

For the first time, 黑料网 researchers crystalized the structure of LSD attached to a human serotonin receptor of a brain cell, and they may have discovered why an 鈥渁cid trip鈥� lasts so long.

黑料网 Lineberger researchers find how triple negative breast cancer cells are able to bypass treatment with trametinib, an FDA-approved drug. The researchers also used lab models of breast cancer to test a potential treatment approach that could prevent resistance.

  Dr. David Lawrence Scientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have developed a breakthrough technique that uses light to activate a drug stored in circulating red blood cells so that it is released exactly when and where it is needed. The work, led by Fred Eshelman...

Dr. Kang-Ling Liao, a postdoctoral research associate in Alan Jones’ and Tim Elston’s labs, discovered a 鈥淪hadow detector鈥� and published the work in the Journal of Theoretical Biology. This shadow detector, comprised of a number of G-protein signaling molecules, is used by plants to control photosynthetic efficiency. The problem of...
