Their collaboration has resulted in engineered cells called ‘synthetic organizers’ that deliver instructions to stem cells, telling them to grow into specific tissues and organs.

These regulators are known as MYB, HDAC2, and FOXA2 and when they were suppressed in colon cancer cells, the cells switched back to a normal-like state, removing the cancer threat without ...

Central to this process are oxidative stress, endothelial cell activation, inflammation, and vascular dysfunction. The endothelium exhibits a pro-inflammatory, pro-coagulant, and enhanced permeability ...

One hundred years ago, Alexander Gurwitsch dared to propose that living cells emit faint ultraviolet light, invisible to the naked eye, to communicate with and stimulate one another. It was an ...

Scientists around the world are also welcome to mine PanSci for their own research, Zhang adds. “Researchers studying specific organs can extract organ-specific data, while those focusing on specific ...

Investigators from Cedars-Sinai and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have identified a new way to deliver instructions that tell stem cells to grow into specific bodily ...

Maybe so, if they have the right diet. KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge tells us that T-cells that consume acetate can kill more cancer cells. Imagine your immune system could fight off cancer ...

CD4 T helper cells are a type of white blood cell called a lymphocyte that serves an important role in your immune system. These cells help defend the body against infection by directing other "killer ...

Notably, increasing osteogenic cell numbers locally fails to rescue repair in aged mice, identifying the presence of intrinsic cellular deficits. Our strategy combines Wnt-mediated osteoprogenitor ...

To discover how brain cells respond to microgravity, scientists sent tiny clumps of stem-cell derived brain cells called 'organoids' to the International Space Station. Microgravity is known to ...
