Cells constantly probe their environments, searching for physical cues that guide their behavior. And yet a cell's response ...

The research group of prof. Sanjiv Luther at the department of immunobiology of the University of Lausanne has discovered ...

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 type of rare T cell triggers a cascade of signals amplifying inflammation and ultimately leading to liver fibrosis, ...

When the liver is injured - for example, due to bile accumulation - immune cells become activated. In mouse experiments, the ...

Researchers have found a way to make cancer-killing immune cells more powerful and precise. By adding specific signaling components, they boosted the cells’ readiness to attack tumors. Surprisingly, ...

For the first time, a stem cell model has produced a structure resembling an early human embryo with a yolk-sac-like ...

Researchers identified GSK3α as a key checkpoint controlling stem cell identity across multiple cell types. Inhibiting it ...

For the first time, a stem cell model has produced a structure resembling an early human embryo with a yolk-sac-like structure, from a single starting stem cell population and without direct genetic ...
