Senescent skin cells, often referred to as zombie cells because they have outlived their usefulness without ever quite dying, ...

While more research is needed to verify which fibroblast subtype is harmful and which is helpful, the results here show that ...

USC researchers have developed an innovative type of cancer-fighting immune cell, the EchoBack CAR T-cell, that uses focused ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the Cryptosporidium parasite exports a protein into infected ...

Not all zombie skin cells are the same. New research reveals three unique subtypes with different roles in aging and disease, ...

We know each of the proteins that exist in our cells, but how they fit together to then carry out the function of a cell still remains largely unknown across cell types," said Leah Schaffer ...

It's no coincidence that our bodies feel a little creakier as we age. The trillions of cells that make up our skeleton age too, and some change in ways that weaken the very structure of our bones.

This led the researchers to conclude that, somehow, there was a gender-based difference in how the cells function. "It was both fascinating and puzzling," said Kashem, who co-led the study with ...

In contrast, the team's EchoBack CAR T-cells function by being activated by ultrasound in the tumor location. From there, the CAR T-cells continue to seek and destroy cancer cells for at least ...
