Cells have an internal skeleton that maintains their structure and also drives their movement. Known as the cytoskeleton, ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, a group of researchers revealed hierarchical stem-cell arrangements in bone marrow (BM) niches that govern regeneration, immune privilege, and ...

Geared toward a younger audience (but honestly, who among us doesn’t love cell animations?) the Cell and Cell Structure app is a great educational resource for those looking for a beautifully ...

An international group of researchers has identified an important mechanism that enables stem cells to evade immune rejection ...

Retroviruses are viruses that have evolved the ability to write their genetic code into a cell's own DNA. The most ancient ...

For example, naïve T cells increase in size before undergoing a burst of proliferation, while liver and fat cells enlarge or contract in response to nutrient availability. In these cases, size changes ...

Scientists have made an important discovery about the relationship between hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and immune response evasion. Their findings show how certain HSCs have regulatory functions ...

An international group of researchers led by Kazuhiro Furuhashi (Nagoya University and Columbia University) and Joji Fujisaki (Harvard University and Columbia University) has identified an important ...
