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 ...

Biomedical scientists have confirmed that newly discovered cells in the thymus are just like M cells, which are mostly known for their presence in the intestinal epithelium. It came as a surprise to ...

(MEMPHIS, Tenn. – September 07, 2023) As many as 5.8 million Americans are currently living with Alzheimer’s disease, a neurodegenerative condition associated with progressive cognitive decline, ...

In their new study, the LJI scientists are the first to show that GPR25 is induced by a signaling molecule called TGF-β.

Our immune systems function by employing two separate responses when in contact with disease. The first is the innate immune system, which aids in monitoring for infection throughout the body. Innate ...

Researchers from UC Riverside School of Medicine collaborated with researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel and uncovered a new type of cell in the thymus which is responsible for ...

During gestation, the placenta takes on the roles of many of the fetus’ developing organs and serves as a barrier between parent and child. Critical to this is the outermost layer of the organ, the ...

Most neuroscience research carried out up to date has primarily focused on neurons, the most renowned type of cell in the human brain. As a result, the unique functions of other brain cell types are ...

The same brain cells linked to disorientation in Alzheimer's disease have been preserved—and even slightly increased—across ...
