In certain contexts, the Notch receptor may participate in “reverse signaling,” influencing neighboring cells directly.

Cell signaling is crucial for cells to communicate and function correctly. Disruptions in these pathways, caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, ...

T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on exquisitely timed molecular signals. Now researchers have captured one of the ...

We owe a lot to tissue resident memory T cells (T RM). These specialized immune cells are among the body's first responders to disease. Rather than coursing through the bloodstream-as many T cells ...

Researchers from Queen Mary University of London have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism by which HIV-1 can infect ...

The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents flowing through our bodies. We’re used to thinking of the brain as an ...

Objective B-cell activating factor (BAFF) is essential for B-cell survival and innate immune activation, and its ...
