The immune system provides an integral defense against cancer growth and progression. Activating an anti-tumor immune response relies on several biological steps that can ultimately result in the ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have built a computer simulation that tracks the entire life cycle ...

To model bacterial life, Thornburg and his colleagues turned to one of its simplest examples: a bacterial cell with a ...

T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on exquisitely timed molecular signals. Now researchers have captured one of the ...

A lipid hidden within cells called phosphatidylserine reveals how the body initiates the removal of threats and cellular debris.

When injured, cells have well-regulated responses to promote healing. These include a long-studied self-destruction process that cleans up dead and damaged cells as well as a more recently identified ...

Emily Whitehead made the history books in 2012 when she become the first pediatric patient with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia to be given a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. After ...

Cell image analysis software is a potent tool for high-content imaging that digitizes and analyzes intricate experiment data. Users may quickly access various evaluation systems, ranging from 3D ...

Photoreceptors are specialized cells in the eye that convert light energy into neural signals. Several diseases that cause irreversible vision loss, including age-related macular degeneration, ...

NIR process cells represent the critical interface between a chemical process stream and dedicated process measurement systems. The demands imposed on these cells are multifaceted, arising from the ...
