Researchers at the University of Michigan have revealed that cells use a previously unknown feat of molecular craftsmanship to help protect their larger host organisms. The building blocks required ...

Restoring the gut microbiota through fecal microbiota transplantation reversed these effects. The treatment replenished CX3CR1-positive NK cells, reduced lung damage, and improved survival. Targeted ...

PFAS are found in multiple everyday products, such as cosmetics, outdoor clothing and coated pans. This is because of their special properties. They are heat-resistant, repel water and grease and are ...

A topical cream activated the skin's immune defenses and suppressed tumor growth in two preclinical models of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), one of the most common cancers in the world, ...

Researchers have revealed how a common bacterium, Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis), releases lactic acid to acidify its surroundings and suppress the immune-cell signal needed to start a proper ...

Why do diabetic wounds refuse to heal? A new scientific review highlights how disruptions in the timing and behavior of ...

Over the years, cell biology has built a detailed picture of how cells compartmentalize their internal functions. Central to this organization is the nucleus, which houses the genetic material and is ...

New research from scientists at the University of Washington (UW) School of Medicine and Duke University describes how cellular RNA helps regulate antiviral signaling as part of the immune response ...

Cells were long believed to safeguard nuclear contents, releasing them only during cell death. Extracellular DNA was thought to enter cells solely through endocytosis into endosomes, with self-DNA ...

A study published in Stem Cell Reports demonstrates that genetically engineered human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) can ...
