Over the years, cell biology has built a detailed picture of how cells compartmentalize their internal functions. Central to this organization is the nucleus, which houses the genetic material and is ...

A new study from researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem provides fresh insight into how pancreatic cancer may ...

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

Stimulating the liver to generate signals normally produced by the thymus can reverse age-related declines in T-cell populations.

Immunotherapy, which uses programmed immune cells to selectively destroy cancer cells, has transformed cancer treatment. However, cancer cells have developed immune evasion strategies, leading to poor ...

Crystalline polymers assembled inside tumor cell lysosomes rupture membranes, release iron, and trigger immune-activating ...

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center have found that a cellular housekeeping mechanism called autophagy plays a major role in ensuring that T stem cells undergo normal cell division. The findings, ...

A map of the immune cell landscape found in the bone marrow of patients with multiple myeloma could shed light on how the immune system interacts with cancerous plasma cells. It could also help ...

"A robust immune system has broad implications. By rejuvenating immune cells, we could make life-saving cancer treatments effective for more patients. We have already initiated a follow-up study in ...

We are now approaching six years since COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, yet talk of vaccines and our immune systems persists in our cultural conversations — from ...

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, ...
