Just as the human body relies on organs such as the heart or liver for essential functions, cells depend on their own tiny ...

For decades, scientists understood inducible nitric oxide synthase, or iNOS, as a one-trick enzyme. Its job was to churn out ...

A research team led by scientists from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in São Paulo, Brazil, has made significant progress in understanding the relationship between gut microbiota and ...

Introduction Severe asthma is characterised by inflammation and structural remodelling of the airways, typically resistant to standard therapies. Mepolizumab, an anti-IL-5 biologic, reduces eosinophil ...

Cells are not isolated units; they continuously exchange proteins, genetic material, and even entire organelles with their neighbors. Intercellular transfer influences how tissues develop, respond to ...

This important study combines imaginative and innovative experiments with a finite element modelling to demonstrate the relevance of poroelasticity in the mechanical properties of cells across ...

Lung cancer is classified into two major categories: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which accounts for 85% of lung cancer cases, and small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), which accounts for the ...

It’s a familiar image, reprinted in countless biology textbooks: an illustration of a typical cell, halved like a grapefruit to reveal its innards. Strands of endoplasmic reticulum encircle a nucleus ...

This study presents a useful method based on flow cytometry to study partitioning noise during cell division. The methods, data and analysis support the claims of the authors is convincing. This work ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered a molecular pathway that links obesity to widespread inflammation, providing long-sought insight into why obesity increases the ...

The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents flowing through our bodies. We’re used to thinking of the brain as an ...
