How the skin really tells cool from warm

Whether we hold a warm mug or step onto a cool floor, specialized nerve cells in the skin constantly report temperature to the brain. Scientists have long assumed that separate groups of sensory cells detect nonpainful cool and warm temperatures. Now, researchers led by Drs. Phil

Experimental pancreatic cancer vaccine elicits durable immune responses in high-risk parti

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive cancer that is often diagnosed at advanced stages and carries a low five-year survival rate. Approximately 10% of cases are associated with hereditary predisposition caused by pathogenic mutations in specific cancer suscept

Roasted and browned: How gut bacteria break down heated foods

Crusty bread, fried meat and roasted coffee owe their characteristic taste and browning to chemical reactions that occur when foods are heated. In the so-called Maillard reaction, amino acids—the building blocks of proteins—react with sugars to produce modified forms of natural d

Breakdown of immune cells' interaction is key driver in aging, study finds

We may age at different rates, but none of us escapes aging. A study in mice and human cells by Stanford Medicine researchers pins much of the blame on a particular type of immune cell's increasing inability, with advancing age, to gobble up another immune cell type.
