Research findings likely to help identify key differences between effective and flawed immune systems

Research findings likely to help identify key differences between effective and flawed immune systems

T cells, a special class of white blood cells, defend the body and kill infected or foreign tissue. In an organ called the thymus, they learn to distinguish between proteins that are helpful and those that are harmful.

Novel model system to identify new treatments for CF patients who continue to struggle without therapies

Novel model system to identify new treatments for CF patients who continue to struggle without therapies

A mutation in the CFTR gene results in cystic fibrosis (CF). Despite the fact that there are many hundreds of identified mutations, not all of them can now be treated, leaving a sizable portion of CF patients without access to targeted medicines.

A Retro-Cascorder device records a cell’s genetic activity in DNA for days at a time

A Retro-Cascorder device records a cell’s genetic activity in DNA for days at a time

If you want to keep track of someone’s activities for a day, contact them every 10 minutes and inquire what they are up to. It would be simpler, though, to equip them with a journal in which to record their own acts.

Scientists discover cells travel faster through mucus than blood

Scientists discover cells travel faster through mucus than blood

Some cells travel quicker in thicker fluids, such as honey against water or mucus versus blood, because their ruffled edges detect the viscosity of their surroundings and adjust to boost their speed.
