An international research team led jointly by the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), the University of Göttingen and ...

Researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) have uncovered a critical link between the immune system in early life and ...

Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package — growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on — and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first ...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced naturally during cellular metabolism often cause oxidative damage to cells. However, these molecules also play an important role in normal cellular signaling.

For the immune system to effectively combat pathogens, antibody responses must be precisely controlled. So-called follicular ...

The survival and suppressive function of regulatory T (Treg) cells rely on various intracellular metabolic and physiological processes. Our study demonstrates that Vps34 plays a critical role in ...

The cells lining skin capillaries are constantly sending each other messages—tiny pulses of calcium that help regulate blood ...

A new study led by Marco Fumasoni, principal investigator at Fundação GIMM, shows that evolution can substantially reduce ...

B lymphocytes exhibit dual roles in tumorigenesis, acting as both allies and adversaries in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Their anti-tumor functions include recognizing tumor-associated antigens, ...

Scientists have discovered a new protective communication circuit between specialized immune cells in the intestines, a ...

Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites. But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a dead organism introduces a “third state” that lies beyond the traditional ...
