The body's cells respond to stress—toxins, mutations, starvation or other assaults—by pausing normal functions to focus on ...

Cells don’t just follow a rigid script when responding to stress – they’re far more adaptable than we thought. A new study ...

For organs to develop, grow and regenerate, cells must proliferate. But when that process goes awry, leading to uncontrolled cell growth, cancer can emerge.

A breakthrough discovery has revealed that skin cells communicate using a slow, electrical language of their own.

Scientists found that aggressive lung cancer cells create their own electrical network, helping them spread. This unique ...

In this review, we describe and compare the phenotypic aspects, biological and functional activities of the three types of multinucleated giant cells. Furthermore, we provide an overview of the ...

People who wish to join the stem cell registry only have to swab the inside of their cheek to collect a sample, which Canadian Blood Services will then test. If a match is found, then the person ...

In addition, we discuss recent preclinical and clinical investigations on the use of adoptive NK cell transfer and agents that can modulate NK cell activity.

The ECM is important for dynamic and multifunctional regulation of cell behaviours and can modulate the bioavailability and activity of growth factors, cytokines, and extracellular enzymes (Aszódi et ...

A type of antibody called immunoglobulin E (IgE) is particularly likely to trigger an allergic response. In general, immune cells called plasma cells produce antibodies and release them into the body.
