A research team led by Professor June M. Kwak from the Department of New Biology at DGIST (President Kunwoo Lee), in collaboration with Professor Jong Kyoung Kim’s team at POSTECH, has uncovered the ...

Activated T cells that carry a certain marker protein on their surface are controlled by natural killer (NK) cells, another cell type of the immune system. In this way, the body presumably curbs ...

Understanding how cells transform into specialized types during human development is a central challenge in biology. This complex process, known as cell differentiation, holds the key to understanding ...

Scientists at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) and their colleagues are shedding new light on a tumor's earliest ...

Senescent cells walk a tightrope, risking cell death with high levels of iron and other damaging agents, but compensating for this by overproducing a protective protein, GPX4, which staves off death.

An experimental study led by Pompeu Fabra University describes the mechanism whereby insulinomas, a rare type of neuroendocrine tumor that affects pancreatic beta cells. According to the study, ...

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have discovered that activated T cells release extracellular vesicles carrying immune-related DNA fragments that can enter both immune and tumor cells, enhancing ...

Our bodies depend on mucus to function properly. As it turns out, so do some cancer cells. Scientists discovered mucus not only allows young pancreatic cancer cells to grow, but also prevents them ...
