    In vivo delivery of siRNA to immune cells by conjugation to a TLR9 agonist enhances antitumor immune responses

    Tumors generate microenvironments that actively suppress the body's anti-tumor immune response. Kortylewski et al. restore immunity by delivering an siRNA against Stat3, a regulator of immune suppression, to myel...

    Inhibition of Neurofibromin and p120 GTPASE Activating Protein (GAP) by Dietary Fatty Acids

    Neurofibromin and p120 GTPase activating protein (p120 GAP) down-regulate the activity of cellular Ras proteins. How the activity of these two proteins is controlled is not yet clear. In this study, we analyze...
