Researchers have discovered how unstructured segments of surface proteins regulate the biological function of a cell. Their study, published in Nature Communications, sheds new light on the interplay ...

University of Warwick research demonstrates how to engineer "cell factories" that last longer and produce more chemicals, without needing antibiotics or complex engineering methods, paving the way for ...

Researchers at the University of Granada and Mount Sinai Hospital in New York have developed a luminescent probe, called GLed, capable of measuring the activity of the immune system in real time and ...

Cytokine release syndrome occurred in 33 and 24% of participants in the ATG 2.5- and 0.5mg/kg groups, respectively, and in no participants in the placebo group. HealthDay News — Antithymocyte globulin ...

To undergo kidney dialysis, doctors must first surgically create an access route—an arteriovenous fistula—usually in an arm, a conduit that will accommodate hemodialysis treatments. It is a routine ...

A team of engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has announced the creation of an artificial neuron with electrical functions that closely mirror those of biological ones. Building on ...

Researchers found that zeaxanthin, long associated with eye health, may also boost the body’s immune response against cancer. In a recent study, scientists at the University of Chicago found that ...

Spaceflight makes certain human stem cells age faster, a study finds, furthering the understanding of the possible effects of space exploration on the human body.

Polyclonal antithymocyte globulin (ATG), an old agent used to suppress the immune system and destroy T cells, reduced the loss of β-cell function in young people newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, ...

Cigarette smoke impairs mesenchymal stem cell function, limiting proliferation, migration, differentiation, and immunomodulation, with major implications for regenerative medicine and stem cell–based ...

Sickle cell disease advocates in East Texas say raising awareness and expanding education are critical steps toward improving care and saving lives. Despite being the most common inherited blood ...

When a key protein regulator dials down DNA repair mechanisms, our cells accumulate more mutations, which may cause us to age faster ...
