The human small intestine absorbs nutrients while protecting us from potentially harmful microbes. One of the cell types that ...

International team identify immune cells responsible for some hard-to-treat asthma cases Scientists from the University of Southampton and La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI), in California, have ...

Share on Pinterest Scientists are looking at gut immune cells in their research for treatments for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). RUNSTUDIO/Getty Images Scientists say they have identified a unique ...

The immune system is comprised of two separate active arms of immunity to provide robust protection against disease. The two separate systems of immunity include the innate and adaptive immune ...

By revealing the molecular mechanisms behind the peacekeeping abilities of specialized immune cells, scientists are uncovering new pathways for treating autoimmune conditions and detecting diseases ...

The immune system is comprised of various cells that work in concert to fight off disease. The two immune responses, innate and adaptive, are orchestrated to build a specific reaction to the invading ...

Scientists have made an important discovery about the relationship between hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and immune response evasion. Their findings show how certain HSCs have regulatory functions ...

A study led by Umeå University, Sweden, presents new discoveries about how stem cells develop and transition into specialised cells. The discovery can provide increased understanding of how cells ...

Cell development, proliferation and death form a tightly interwoven continuum that underpins both normal physiology and disease. At its core, the orchestration of the cell cycle ensures that cells ...

Drosophila melanogaster has long served as a powerful model for dissecting the principles of tissue homeostasis and regeneration. Within the adult midgut, intestinal stem cells (ISCs) perform the ...

Jennifer Zenker receives funding from NHMRC and Viertel Foundation. Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as “miracle” cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in ...

Scientists have uncovered a group of immune cells that may drive severe asthma. These cells gather in the lungs and appear to cause the most harm in men who develop asthma in later life. Scientists ...
