The outer layers of skin are made from layers of flattened dead cells that are held together, making it a more or less waterproof barrier, impervious to minor trauma. There are numerous sweat glands throughout the skin, a ...

Rallying the troops of the immune system to fight cancer

Cancer cells fend off attack by releasing signals that bind to immune cells and keep them dormant. The goal of a new class of drugs called checkpoint inhibitors ...
