The cells in our bodies move in groups during biological processes such as wound healing and tissue development—but because of resistance, or viscosity, those cells can't just neatly glide past each ...

Researchers have developed two innovative tools to help us delve deeper into cell communication, offering spatial insight ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Vaults are mysterious cellular structures that can be genetically engineered to store information about a cell’s history.

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 ...

A Dartmouth study published in Nature Communications reveals that immune cells in the brain use a surprising two-step process ...

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 ...

New study by UC Santa Cruz team discovers that early pregnancy in mice reduces buildup of ‘confused’ cells that could lead to breast cancer later in life ...

The cochlea is the spiral-shaped structure within the inner ear responsible for our sense of hearing. To fully understand hearing functions and open the door to new hearing loss treatments, scientists ...
