A newly identified cell type in planarian flatworms can detonate itself and destroy neighboring cells in less than two ...
Within the past decade, biologists have discovered that one strategy cells use to keep their contents organized is a ...
A team led by Stanford biologist Bo Wang and lead author Chew Chai has identified a previously unknown type of immune cell in ...
Autophagy is essentially the 'rubbish collection' of our cells. If there are problems in this process, which is so important for our health, diseases such as Parkinson's can result. In their latest ...
Sepsis is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by dysregulated immune responses, systemic inflammation, and multi-organ dysfunction. It involves intricate interactions among multiple signaling ...
In several disease conditions, including infections and cancers, innate immune activation and nutrient scarcity occur together. A study from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, published in Cell, ...
For the new study, the scientists first genetically engineered mice to lack the QRICH1 protein, and conducted experiments demonstrating that the protein is necessary for the CD8 + T cell signaling ...
The researchers used lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to deliver cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) synthase (cGAS) mRNA to cancer cells. This results in production of the endogenous stimulator of interferon genes ...
