Researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst have discovered that epithelial cells communicate using slow electrical signals, a previously unknown ability. Their study, published in PNAS, ...

Our research has shown that our allogeneic T-cell progenitors, once educated in the host thymus, restore a polyclonal T-cell compartment. TCR diversity is critical to fighting infections and ...

The 2005 finding of cells and blood vessels in dinosaur bone launched a systematic search for fossil remnants of biomolecules, creating innovations in methods and applications. Jasmina Wiemann is ...

You can increase white blood cells (WBCs) by taking certain medications and eating immune-boosting foods, like yogurt, lean protein foods, antioxidant-rich vegetables, and more. Maintaining a normal ...

Study findings provide a new gene pathway for potential treatment of the virus affecting millions. Mount Sinai researchers have developed a method to uncover the hidden immune cells that harbor ...

Lymphocytes begin their life in bone marrow. Some stay in the marrow and develop into B lymphocytes (B cells); others travel to the thymus and become T lymphocytes (T cells). These two cell types ...

The Institute of Cancer Research, London, is delighted to welcome the new London Growth Plan, launched by Mayor of London Sadiq Khan , which places life sciences at the forefront of an ambitious ...

We discovered the function of the thymus and made key findings on the function of the two main subsets of lymphocytes, T cells and B cells. This was the fundamental basis for modern immunology.

The thymus gland is part of our lymphatic system. It’s involved in the development of a type of white blood cell called a T lymphocyte. These white blood cells are part of your immune system. They ...

During maturation in the thymus, T cells are selected through the binding properties of their antigen-specific T-cell receptor (TCR), through the elimination of both weakly (positive selection) and ...

From the first in-car phones of the 1940s to the best smartphones of today, the evolution of cell phones is nothing short of remarkable. To that end, let’s look at the history of cell phones.
