Capitalizing on the flexibility of tiny cells inside the body's smallest blood vessels may be a powerful spinal cord repair strategy, new research suggests.

There's a sensation that you experience—near a plane taking off or a speaker bank at a concert—from a sound so total that you ...

They are called “Natural Killer” (NK) cells for a reason. These cytotoxic lymphocytes, a part of innate immunity, are the body’s cellular “boots on the ground,” capable of swiftly and ...

The vitamin D receptor is present in nerve cells called nociceptors which sense pain. This vitamin may also be involved in your body’s pain signalling pathways which may play a role in chronic pain.

Several transcription factors in these cells follow a broad-to-restricted expression trajectory ... retained and required in tactile somatosensory neurons. In developing nociceptors, Prdm12 ...

The scientists showed that, right at the onset of mild illness, the body also produces special T cells previously known only from chronic, severe infections and tumors. There are different types ...
