Researchers at the University of Liège have identified a key genetic regulator that enables macrophages to reach full ...

A single genetic “switch” may be the secret to how the body’s cleanup crew grows up and keeps our organs running smoothly.

As we age with each passing year, we become more susceptible to chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, and dementia.

A new study maps millions of cells across organs and shows how aging changes the body in coordinated and surprising ways.

A new study describes a technique that rejuvenates aging blood-forming stem cells and could help reduce the risk of age-related blood disorders.

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, ...

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 ...

The human body is a dynamic place. Blood pumps, spinal fluid flows, oxygen comes in and carbon dioxide goes out. Deeper still, charged molecules pass through cell walls, quietly keeping the body's ...

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 ...

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

Pain is something most people experience after an injury, whether from a sprained ankle, surgery or car accident. Normally pain fades as the body heals. But it may last longer in women than in men, ...
