In a first-of-its-kind study by King's College London, researchers have linked changes in two major types of immune cells in blood to different survival outcomes for patients with melanoma.

New research led by the Hudson Institute of Medical Research has shown how a cell recognizes that it is infected with a virus to protect itself and surrounding cells or induce inflammation.

Brain-resident immune cells that have reached an old-age state called "senescence" secrete a protein that causes dysfunction in other brain cells, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine.

The thyroid gland consists of two types of hormone-producing cells that regulate the body's metabolism and calcium balance. In mammals, these cell types merge into a single organ, whereas in other vertebrates, they develop into separate organs. How this fusion occurs has long rem

Toxoplasma gondii, or Toxoplasma, is a parasite that infects hundreds of millions of people around the world.

Transporting molecules across biological membranes is essential for life.

Researchers at National Jewish Health and partner institutions have discovered specific changes in immune cells in the lungs of people with sarcoidosis.

Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) have been proposed as a therapeutic approach to shut down the production of faulty proteins in a wide variety of diseases, including cancer. In a study published in the Journal of Cell Biology (JCB), researchers at the Cancer Research UK Scotland

The brain's immune cells are increasingly recognized as key players in Alzheimer's disease, but exactly how they change as the disease develops has remained unclear. A new study published in Nature Genetics provides the most comprehensive map to date of these cells, identifying a

A team led by researchers from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), the HI-STEM Stem Cell Institute, and Medical Clinic V at Heidelberg University Hospital (UKHD) has characterized T cells in the bone marrow of patients with multiple myeloma and acute myeloid leukemia. The w

A tumor is more than its cancer cells. Immune cells, blood vessels and other surrounding tissue influence how a cancer grows and responds to treatment. Two tumors containing the same cell types can respond very differently to the same therapy depending on how those cells are arra

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Cancer Center have identified a previously unknown metabolic weakness in the stem cells that drive high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), a discovery that could lead to more targeted treatments for this aggressive blood cance
