Activated T cells that carry a certain marker protein on their surface are controlled by natural killer (NK) cells, another cell type of the immune system. In this way, the body presumably curbs ...

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking new technique for engineering biosensors that respond sensitively to specific biomolecules, enhancing cell migration and targeting in cancer treatment. The ...

Discovery of efficient anti-cancer drugs and drug combinations is essential for therapy success. Therefore, it is crucial that new methods for efficient drug efficacy testing are developed to support ...

Key elements that drive a battery-cell tester. Three main architectures used to construct a tester. Battery-cell testers are commercially available at many different levels of performance. Performance ...

A Northwestern Medicine study has shed light on a critical molecular mechanism underlying amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), according to findings published in the journal Neuron.

Metabolism guides the activation states of regulatory T cells, the immune cells that prevent inappropriate activation of the immune system. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists recently ...

How does a cell know when it’s been damaged? A molecular alarm, set off by mutated RNA and colliding ribosomes, signals danger. When the sun shines on your skin, what does it hit? When it causes a ...

Among people with sickle cell disease—an inherited blood disorder—acute chest syndrome (ACS) is the leading cause of death. The condition is the result of red blood cells becoming stiff, sticky, and ...

Researchers at Texas Biologics at The University of Texas at Austin, working with scientists internationally, have made an ...

Investigators from the laboratory of Derek Walsh, Ph.D., professor of Microbiology-Immunology, have discovered how human ...
