T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on exquisitely timed molecular signals. Now researchers have captured one of the ...

T Cells Gain Phagocytic Function via Specific Antigen RecognitionThe research team engineered CD8+ Jurkat T cells to express SVAR16 ...

A newly identified role for the neuronal MPS shows it controls nutrient uptake by acting as a gatekeeper. Its disruption ...

Cells rely on tiny molecules called microRNAs to tune which genes are active and when. Cells must carefully control the lifespan of microRNAs to prevent widespread disruption to gene regulation. A new ...

As inflamed regions of the gut form scar tissue, the space within the gut lumen becomes smaller and more restricted, leading to symptoms of gut ...

A bandage-like microneedle patch can noninvasively collect immune cells and signals from the skin within minutes to hours. Early tests suggest it could transform how immune responses are monitored.

Garlic compounds prolong life and preserve memory and strength in mice, revealing a potential ally against aging.

A lipid hidden within cells called phosphatidylserine reveals how the body initiates the removal of threats and cellular debris.

The former NBA All-Star has lost near 100 pounds in recent years.

Reagenics Research produces protein inside potatoes via plant cell culture, and studies show its low methionine content can help build muscle and slow ageing. Could the spud be the key to longevity?

A research team led by Albert Einstein College of Medicine scientists has developed a new strategy to engineer immune cells that dramatically prolongs their effectiveness after being infused into ...

A new scientific review highlights how disruptions in the timing and behaviour of immune cells may hold the key to understanding ...
