Researchers have identified a subset of brain cells in mice that act as the master regulators of urination. Urination requires the coordinated function of two units of the lower urinary tract. The ...

The interaction between mast cells and other immune cells at sites of allergic responses has been largely unexplored. A research group at the MPI of Immunobiology and Epigenetics used specialized ...

Mast cells (MCs) are immune cells that play roles in both normal and abnormal processes. They have been linked to tumor progression in several types of cancer, including non-small cell lung cancer ...

Modic changes are radiographic features associated with microfracture, low-virulence organism infection and chronic inflammation with inflammatory cell infiltration in the vertebral endplate region.

New research at the University of Minnesota and elsewhere suggests that adults carry a reservoir of ''master cells'' inside their bone marrow that - like stem cells taken from human embryos - are ...

Researchers have adapted CRISPR technologies for high-throughput screening of gene function in human immune cells and discovered that a single master regulator of the genome can be used to reprogram a ...

USC Dornsife researchers discover that “condensates” formed by the protein Nup98 help cells avoid catastrophic errors when repairing breaks in tightly packed DNA, a finding with implications for ...

Although embryonic stem cells have certainly grabbed most of the attention — and headlines — in the stem cell field in recent years, embryos aren’t the only source of these versatile mother-cells.

This scanning electron microscopy image captures the moment where degranulating mast cells (pseudo-colored in sepia) attract and start to incorporate living neutrophils (pseudo-colored in cyan), ...
