Researchers with the global Human Cell Atlas (HCA) consortium report significant progress in their quest for a better understanding of the cells of the human body in health and disease, with the ...

Understanding how cells transform into specialized types during human development is a central challenge in biology. This complex process, known as cell differentiation, holds the key to understanding ...

Mast cells are immune cells that responds to different pathogens, such as bacteria and parasites. In response to these pathogens, mast cells release different chemicals, such as histamine and heparin, ...

Indiana University School of Medicine researchers have made significant progress in understanding how cells communicate during inflammation. The study, recently published in PNAS, was conducted over a ...

Natural killer cells, also referred to as NK cells, play several major roles in the body's defense against cancers like renal cell carcinoma. Natural killer cells, also referred to as NK cells, play ...

(Nanowerk News) The fact that humans and other living organisms can develop and grow from a single cell relies on a process called embryonic development. For healthy tissue to form, cells in the ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide—without relying on the classic “purse-string” ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying ...

Seeking answers to this question, scientists at University of Utah Health led research that opens up a whole new world within our cells. Their study, published in Science, uncovers a vast network of ...

Cellular therapies, including TIL, TCR, and CAR-T, are transforming lung cancer care by utilizing personalized immune cells to target tumors. TIL therapy, now FDA-approved for solid tumors, shows ...

A type of cell that plays a crucial role in tissue repair after a heart attack may also inadvertently be why cutting-edge cell therapies cause an increased risk of rhythm disorders, according to a new ...

Johns Hopkins scientists say they have used 3D imaging, special microscopes and artificial intelligence (AI) programs to construct new maps of mouse brains showing a precise location of more than 10 ...
