Using a combination of computational modeling and experimental techniques, a research team has developed new information about how intercellular communication affects the differentiation of an embryonic stem cell
Normally, the blood protein fibrin does not enter the brain. But in several neurological disorders, the blood-brain barrier — which keeps large molecules in the blood from entering
While many cancer therapies initially can be very successful, tumors often return and spread when remaining cancer cells develop resistance to treatment. To combat this tendency, Frédéric Thomas
Key insights into how sperm and egg cells are formed have been discovered by scientists, shedding light on the earliest stages of their development. The research shows for
Researchers at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School have identified an important step in the process that allows our bodies to fight viruses. Their work also explains how
Organs affected by autoimmune disease could be fighting back by “exhausting” immune cells that cause damage using methods similar to those used by cancer cells to escape detection,
Sometimes, the body’s otherwise intelligent immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s healthy tissue by responding to infections that do not exist. This causes chronic inflammation and leads to
New research suggests that obesity changes how airway muscles function, increasing the risk of developing asthma. The study is published ahead of print in the American Journal of
Researchers at the University of Florida have discovered that a modified version of an important immune cell protein could be used to treat Alzheimer’s disease. The study, which
The innate immune response to lung infection takes priority at the expense of wound healing, according to a study published August 23 in the open-access journal PLOS Pathogens
