Mucosal surfaces serve as critical battlegrounds where the immune system must balance tolerance to commensal organisms with rapid defense against pathogens.

Until now, doctors knew hepatic stellate cells mainly as drivers of liver fibrosis. The actual functions of this cell type have hardly been studied to date. Researchers have now determined that ...

Pyruvate dictates redox balance and cell size, establishing metabolism as a dominant regulator of cellular fitness, unveiling new strategies to modulate cancer, regeneration, and diabetes.

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to the function of motile cilia, the hair-like structures extending from the ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

Whether it’s counting red blood cells under a light microscope or recording bursts of electricity as neurons fire, scientists spend a lot of time studying cells. With such a diversity in form and ...

New research reveals the cellular secrets of aging, with cutting-edge single-cell data mapping how neurons, glial cells, and immune systems reshape the aging brain. Study: Brain-wide ...

Our brain is arguably the organ that most distinguishes humans from other primates. Its exceptional size, complexity and capabilities far exceed those of any other species on Earth. Yet humans share ...

In most solid tumors, high numbers of regulatory T (Treg) cells are associated with poorer outcomes because they dampen the ...
