Study shows how innate lymphoid cells may help to treat inflammatory bowel disease

A team of researchers at Sweden’s Karolinska Institutet studied how specific immune cells known as innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), which play a role in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), evolve into mature cells.

Researchers analyze the complex function of cyanobacteria and the regulation of the biological clock

Researchers aim to learn more about circadian rhythms, which are the 24-hour internal clock cycles of sleeping and waking that happens in all species, including humans, plants, fungi, and bacteria.

Towards an effluent analysis tool for predicting harmful effects of endocrine disruptors

Treating pollutants, such as endocrine disruptors, is an effective way to protect the environment. Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that alter the hormonal systems and the development of organisms that are exposed to them, even in small quantities.

Spatial maps offer insights into the battle between melanoma cells and immune cells

Melanoma is a somewhat unusual cancer-;one that blooms before our very eyes, often on sun-exposed skin, and can quickly become deadly as it turns our own skin against us and spreads to other organs.

Research could open up pathways for 3D printing any kind of organ at any time

Human organ transplants offer a crucial lifeline to people with serious illnesses, but there are too few organs to go around: in the U.S. alone, there are more than 112,000 people currently waiting for transplants.

Immune cell migration contributes to inefficient antitumor immunity, study finds

Mutations in the APC gene cause the production of intestinal polyps in persons suffering from familial adenomatous polyposis, a genetic disease that predisposes them to colon cancer.

Critical signaling pathways in immune cells could reduce Alzheimer’s progression

According to Weill Cornell Medicine researchers, inhibiting a critical signaling route in brain-resident immune cells may reduce brain inflammation and hence halt the progression of the disease in Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative disorders.

A new Yale study identifies a deeper understanding of cancer-relevant genes

According to a Yale Cancer Center study, there is cancer-relevant value in a substantially greater portion of human genes than existing cancer research models suggest, based on a study of over 12,000 human genes.

Researchers identify a way to accelerate "handbrake" immune cells to remove disease faster

Researchers at WEHI have discovered a mechanism to boost immune cells, allowing them to remove disease and infections more quickly.

Study reveals key characteristics of immune cells in ovarian cancer

Ovarian cancer is a difficult to diagnose malignancy that is often caught at a more advanced stage. Treatments for this cancer have changed little over the past few decades, with surgery and chemotherapy being the most common therapeutic approaches.

Potential solution to make plants more tolerant lies in a single fatty acid

Climate change doesn't just mean warmer weather. Cold spells can hit unusual lows, too, and the fluctuations between warm and chilly are becoming more extreme.

Scientists discover a special cell in salivary glands that is likely crucial for oral health

Scientists at Scripps Research and the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research have discovered a special type of cell that resides in salivary glands and is likely crucial for oral health.

Bioprinting bone along with two growth factor encoding genes improves bone repair

Given enough time and energy, the body will heal, but when doctors or engineers intervene, the processes do not always proceed as planned because chemicals that control and facilitate the healing process are missing.

A single mutation can enhance the virulence of Zika virus

Researchers at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have found that Zika virus can mutate to become more infective-;and potentially break through pre-existing immunity.
