Tissue morphogenesis requires the precise control of cell shape and cell dynamics. Cell shape is governed by cell mechanics, which explains how a set of intracellular and extracellular forces ...

When Bruce Levine and his colleagues began attempting to engineer immune cells to fight cancer in the 1990s, few people thought they would succeed. “The wider community was very sceptical ...

Skeletal stem cells (SSCs) have been isolated from various tissues, including periosteum and bone marrow, where they exhibit key functions in bone biology and hematopoiesis, respectively. The role of ...

Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a scalable, non-viral technology that efficiently delivers genetic material into human immune cells. The platform ...

Federally funded Johns Hopkins team finds the virus ‘reprograms’ neutrophils to impair production of immune cells critical for fighting COVID New study in @ScienceTM (bit.ly/3YUnScG) by ...

“Immunotherapy has improved survival outcomes for patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC), marking meaningful progress in a historically challenging disease. However, despite ...

Cells are the smallest units of life. But even within the same tissue or organ, they are not all identical. New variations arise continuously during cell proliferation. While genetic mutations ...

Vitamin D supplements might slow cellular aging by preventing the loss of telomeres, DNA sequences at the ends of chromosomes that shorten in old age, a new study suggests. The health effects of t ...
