Patterns of molecular activity in the blood may hold clues not only to how fit someone is, but also to the biological ...

Many liver diseases share a common characteristic: fibrosis, the progressive accumulation of scarring in the liver tissue.

Chemotherapy kills cancer cells, but it also leaves behind something troubling: damaged cells that stop dividing yet refuse ...

Cancer cells can disarm the immune system not just by hiding from it, but by actively reprogramming nearby immune cells into a suppressed state. This previously unrecognized molecular interaction, ...

Cells have a variety of processes and pathways that can repair damage, remove trash and debris, and boost healing. Scientists have now discovered a novel process in which cells eliminate stuff, and ...

The increasing production and environmental dissemination of synthetic chemicals, including pharmaceuticals and emerging contaminants, raise important ...

Dendritic cells (DCs) are among the first immune sentinels to detect viruses, bacteria, or other challenges. These specialized messengers alert T cells while orchestrating either a measured calm or a ...

Initially, cells are dissociated from liver tissues into single-cell suspensions using in vivo enzymatic perfusion or ex vivo digestion methods. The cells of interest are then enriched from the ...

One of the biggest challenges in cancer research is understanding why some tumor cells become especially aggressive, invasive ...

Scientists have long been puzzled by how maturing red blood cells manage to produce all the hemoglobin they need to carry ...
