In a bid to understand why mosquitoes may be more attracted to one human than another, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers say they have mapped specialized receptors on the insects' nerve cells ...

specialized cells in the human vascular system detect changes in blood pressure — information that the body uses to maintain a consistent cardiac load. Cells have proteins called receptors that ...

Researchers found a small, specialized group of nerve cells in the hypothalamus that influence hunger and weight gain. These ...

A research group has identified the so-called PNOC/NPY nerve cells in the brains of mice. When activated, these cells ...

The research team demonstrated that innate immune cells called Natural Killer (NK) cells that express CD8a on the cell ...

Nervous necrosis virus typically enters host cells via endocytosis, but it can also enter via a process called macropinocytosis.

Manufacturing CAR T cells in the laboratory is expensive and time-consuming. An in vivo approach could get the powerful ...

Nerve cells in the hypothalamus: These neurons influence eating behavior and weight gain. Hormone-controlled: These nerve ...

Scientists discovered a specific cluster of PNOC/NPY neurons that regulate food intake and body weight in mice, also present ...

At the top of the hierarchy are specialized stem cells ... "NO hi HSCs") and discovered these cells also contain high levels of the immunomodulatory receptor CD200R—a protein that plays a ...

The approach is called T cell receptor (TCR) therapy, and it involves developing custom-built immune cells that can detect cancer markers that come from the inside of cancer cells. It’s not quite like ...

The researchers said they identified a distinct specialized subset of gamma delta cells called V-gamma-4 (Vg4) cells, which were notably altered and often noticeably diminished in the inflamed ...
