In vertebrates, the skeleton of different regions of the body arises from different precursor cells. Researchers have now discovered that these skeletal cells do not just...
Scientists used advanced data analysis and machine learning to identify the viral proteins that may trigger autoimmune disorders such as type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis.
New study shows that dysfunction of protective immune cells in GI tract may contribute to onset of inflammation in Crohn's disease.
Our blood consists of many cell types that develop through different stages from a precursor type -- the blood stem cell. An international research team has...
Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells. This 'barrier' tissue performs its function thanks to specialized structures called 'junctions'. They ensure cell cohesion...
While researchers have long been familiar with the surface structure of lymphatic vessels, a groundbreaking study has now focused on their jigsaw puzzle-like pattern. This arrangement...
Scientists have identified a protein in cells that spurs the release of infection-fighting molecules. The protein, whose role in the immune system had not previously been...
The Zika virus builds tiny tunnels, called tunneling nanotubes, to stealthily transport material needed to infect nearby cells, including in placental cells, according to a team...
Study findings provide a new gene pathway for potential treatment of the virus affecting millions.
The immune system typically can ramp up the body's defenses to clear out an invading threat without issue. Glitches can happen, however, with sepsis occurring when...
