Researchers have identified a rare cell type and the signaling pathway behind how lung damage from toxins like wildfire smoke or respiratory viruses is repaired.

Researchers working on an incurable blood cancer can now use a new lab model, which could make testing potential new treatments and diagnostics easier and quicker, new research has found.

Researchers at the University of California Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center have uncovered an evolutionary change that may explain why human immune cells are less effective at combating solid tumors compared to our closest living ancestors.

Researchers have successfully generated lung cells similar to alveolar epithelial type 2 (AT2) cells from mouse embryonic fibroblasts without using stem cell technology, slashing the time needed to do this.

With a new mapping tool, Princeton engineers have revealed how a factory inside cells builds ribosomes, the machinery responsible for protein synthesis.

Scientists highlight problems with ongoing STING inhibitor development strategies and offer an alternative explanation for how STING works in human autoimmunity and inflammation.

Researchers developed a method to grow mesenchymal stem cells as aligned sheets using a patterned culture dish. This setup increases secretion of key cytokines linked to healing and immune regulation.

A study used single-cell transcriptomics to analyze maternal–fetal interfaces in six mammalian species. The team discovered ancient, conserved gene signatures linked to placental development.

Benzaldehyde – a compound responsible for the aroma of almonds, apricots and figs – halts the growth and spread of therapy-resistant pancreatic cancer by preventing signaling protein interactions, a new study has found.

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine discovered that mutations in the TET2 gene in blood stem cells could protect against late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. The study showed that TET2-mutant cells help clear beta-amyloid plaques.
