Researchers reveal critical mechanism behind idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Investigators have uncovered how resistance to chemotherapies may occur in some cancers. Researchers focused on a pathway that harnesses reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kill cancer...
Researchers show that the immune system can recognize and control the latent stage of the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, a finding that can inform the study of...
Glucose is life's main energy source. But a new study reveals a surprising role as a master manipulator of tissue maturation, hinting at its importance in...
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...
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...
Researchers have shed new light on how a type of heart valve disease -- aortic valve stenosis -- progresses differently in males and females.
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...
