Researchers have identified a subset of brain cells in mice that act as the master regulators of urination. Urination requires the coordinated function of two units of the lower urinary tract. The ...

The interaction between mast cells and other immune cells at sites of allergic responses has been largely unexplored. A research group at the MPI of Immunobiology and Epigenetics used specialized ...

Mast cells (MCs) are immune cells that play roles in both normal and abnormal processes. They have been linked to tumor progression in several types of cancer, including non-small cell lung cancer ...

Modic changes are radiographic features associated with microfracture, low-virulence organism infection and chronic inflammation with inflammatory cell infiltration in the vertebral endplate region.

Researchers have adapted CRISPR technologies for high-throughput screening of gene function in human immune cells and discovered that a single master regulator of the genome can be used to reprogram a ...

USC Dornsife researchers discover that “condensates” formed by the protein Nup98 help cells avoid catastrophic errors when repairing breaks in tightly packed DNA, a finding with implications for ...

July 6 (Reuters) - The U.S. National Institutes of Health released final rules on Monday governing federal funding of human embryonic stem cell research. Following are some facts about stem cells: ...

Although embryonic stem cells have certainly grabbed most of the attention — and headlines — in the stem cell field in recent years, embryos aren’t the only source of these versatile mother-cells.

This scanning electron microscopy image captures the moment where degranulating mast cells (pseudo-colored in sepia) attract and start to incorporate living neutrophils (pseudo-colored in cyan), ...
