Predicting how circulating immune cells interact with human tissues remains a major challenge in preclinical drug testing. Traditional static culture systems often allow suspended cells to settle, ...

Neural crest cells are a population of stem cells that invade the embryo in early development. They play a big role in what ...

Draper scientists have successfully produced an extended recirculation of immune cells in a high-throughput microphysiological system (MPS). The studies achieved long-term recirculation (up to 24 ...

With a new mathematical model, a team of biophysicists has revealed fresh insights into how biological tissues are shaped by ...

Scientists hoping to discover better ways to boost immune function — which could lengthen our healthspan and protect immunocompromised patients — may have a new target, according to findings published ...

A Medical University of South Carolina team reports in Frontiers in Immunology that it has engineered a new type of genetically modified immune cell that can precisely target and neutralize ...

“This is an early but exciting step toward recharging aging tissues using their own biological machinery,” Gaharwar says in the release. “If we can safely boost this natural power-sharing system, it ...

Immune cells that are designed to soothe could improve treatment for organ transplants, type 1 diabetes and other autoimmune conditions. When the immune system overreacts and starts attacking the body ...

Memory T cells are a special type of white blood cell that "remember" past infections and vaccines, helping our bodies to quickly respond if we encounter the same germs again. These cells are found ...

A new electronic implant system can help lab-grown pancreatic cells mature and function properly, potentially providing a ...

A groundbreaking study shatters the myth of permanent cardiac damage, revealing that the heart can naturally trigger cell ...
