Recent studies have uncovered a fascinating link between dark chocolate consumption and stem cell activation. Dark chocolate with a cocoa content of over 70 percent has been shown to activate stem ...

Stanford scientists have discovered a new type of immune cell that kills surrounding cells via explosion—a cellular ...

Treating rare diseases can be complicated at the best of times, and it gets even more complicated when different patients with the same disease exhibit different symptoms. Now, researchers from Japan ...

We owe a lot to tissue resident memory T cells (T RM). These specialized immune cells are among the body's first responders to disease. Pandurangan Vijayanand, M.D., Ph.D., William K. Bowes ...

A growing body of research is challenging the long-held assumption that memory and awareness belong exclusively to the brain. Scientists working across immunology, biophysics, and neuroscience have ...

While medical centers use ultrasound daily, so far this technology has not been capable of observing body tissues at the scale of cells. Physicists have now developed a microscopy technique based on ...

Quantitative imaging showed that each 5-point BMI increase enlarged the liver 12%, kidneys 9%, and pancreas 7%, linking adiposity to expanded at-risk cellular substrates. Histologic and biopsy ...

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 ...

In conventional pathology and physiology research, two-dimensional (2D) analysis—observing thinly sliced tissue sections—has been mainstream, making it difficult to comprehensively understand the ...

Fluorescence microscopy and machine learning helped scientists visualize obesity-induced inflammation and structural damage ...

Mount Sinai researchers have published the first organ-wide human skin spatial atlas from across the body. It provides an unprecedentedly detailed view of healthy human skin, revealing cellular ...
