The immune cell repertoire is composed of many different cell types that are orchestrated in response to infection and other pathogens that enter the body. As a result, the body can defend itself ...

Scientists have made an important discovery about the relationship between hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and immune response evasion. Their findings show how certain HSCs have regulatory functions ...

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the cells that produce insulin—a ...

An international group of researchers has identified an important mechanism that enables stem cells to evade immune rejection ...

When the body encounters an infection, an army of immune cells is mobilised, each with a unique function. This includes the first responders that mount a generalised defence (innate immune cells like ...

Fibroblasts play a central role in maintaining healthy tissue structures, as well as in the development and progression of diseases. For a long time, these specialised connective tissue cells were ...

Cellular differentiation of stem cells into specialized cells requires many steps, including division, to create more cells; fate determination, which is a commitment to a specific lineage or ...

A new study from The University of Texas at Arlington has revealed how cells control their mitochondria—the "energy producers ...

In a key advance for regenerative medicine and gut health, scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have uncovered a precise and ...
