Synthetic hydrogel-based assay to study 3D confined cell migration. Credit: Science Advances (2024). DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adm9195 Eukaryotic cells—that is, cells with a nucleus—possess an astounding ...

The cells in our bodies move in groups during biological processes such as wound healing and tissue development—but because of resistance, or viscosity, those cells can't just neatly glide past each ...

Ikoma, Japan—Ever wondered how the different cells in our body communicate with each other to fulfill their different roles—be it cells repairing a tissue injury or immune cells moving towards an ...

How do cells move from A to B through our body to build functional tissues? And how is this process regulated? The answers to these questions are essential – for example, for our understanding of how ...

Oxidative stress kills wandering melanoma cells by a process called ferroptosis, in which polyunsaturated fatty acids in the cancer cell membrane react with iron. “It’s like a grease fire starting in ...

Scientists are looking for answers about how these confounding trips, known as metastases, occur throughout the human body Illustration of a human cancer cell Amber Dance, Knowable Magazine Back in ...

CD8+ T cells accumulate in atherosclerotic plaques. Researchers identify a crucial signaling pathway -- with therapeutic potential. CD8+ T cells accumulate in atherosclerotic plaques. LMU researchers ...

Imagine cells navigating through a complex maze, guided by chemical signals and the physical landscape of their environment. A team of researchers at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC ...

In which tissues, organisms and systems do divisions enable or enhance infiltration? Is immune infiltration into tumors facilitated by divisions? Are migrating cells attracted to dividing tissue cells ...

Ever wondered how the different cells in our body communicate with each other to fulfill their different roles-be it cells repairing a tissue injury or immune cells moving towards an invading pathogen ...
