A research team has uncovered the mechanism and underlying reason behind the transformation of residual cells into epidermal ...

An international team of researchers co-led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., at UMass Chan Medical School, have identified rules that tell cells how to fold DNA into the tightly packed, iconic X-shaped ...

Figure 1. CHI3L1’s (YKL40) biological and pathological characteristics. Cell division, apoptosis, tissue remodeling, inflammatory reactions, immunological control, vascular healing, neogenesis, and ...

Usually, it's a series of mutations in tumor suppressor genes and other genes that lead a cancer cell to form. Many of the plant chemicals (phytochemicals) in our foods are antioxidants. These ...

The limitation with the use of two adjuvants is that they need not necessarily bind to PRRs on the same cell. This study evaluates the efficacy of two different dual PRR binding chimeric molecules ...

This was a mighty challenge. The cells kept dying. Paleontologist Kyoko Hagino of Kochi University tried for twelve years until she finally cracked it with a cousin of the original organism.

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 ...

Working with mouse cells, the researchers developed a conversion method that is highly efficient and can produce more than 10 neurons from a single skin cell. If replicated in human cells, this ...

The early differentiation of germ cells, those that will form egg and sperm, is a critical and nearly universal step in animal development. This paper reveals new layers of molecular and cellular ...
