The editor invite submissions of original biological and clinical research focusing on the finely-tuned control of non-immune ...

For decades, scientists have known that a misbehaving protein sits at the heart of Parkinson’s disease, yet the precise chain ...

“For many cell-based therapies, progress comes from connecting the right pieces at the right moment,” Klein said. “When ...

Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan studied what happens when macrophages—a type of immune cell—encounter dying cancer cells in tumors and discovered a mechanism that accelerates tumor growth.

One of the most enduring goals in regenerative medicine is deceptively simple: replace a person's damaged or dying cells with ...

Chemotherapy used to target and kill bladder cancer cells may trigger an inflammatory response that ultimately may make the cancer more resistant to treatment, according to new research from ...

When cells are about to die, they send signals that trigger proteins which are supposed to destroy them, but it doesn’t always happen that way. Some cells activate the signal but then resist the ...

Professor Indraneel Mittra and his team show that DNA fragments from dying cells function as agents of horizontal gene transfer in mammalian cells. For decades, scientists have known that bacteria can ...

Researchers have discovered a novel method that viruses use to move around the body. These findings could help scientists develop better treatments for viral infections, some of which can lay dormant ...

When cancer cells die, macrophages consume them and produce inflammatory cytokines. This activates JAK and STAT proteins in living cancer cells, enabling them to produce their own Upd3 and creating a ...
