Immune system scientists and computational biologists are developing a new tool to investigate how the body fights disease.

When Treg cells are produced, they are trained to recognize specific peptides, including self-peptides from the body. When dendritic cells present a self-peptide, the peacekeeper Treg cells trained to ...

A key enzyme and its molecular pathway are critical to keeping certain immune cells active and away from "exhaustion," ...

This explainer outlines how neurons and glial cells coordinate electrical and chemical signals to form complex brain networks that govern thought, behavior, and consciousness. It also explores how ...

A study of human tumor cells implanted in mice from the MacPherson Lab at Fred Hutch describes a new way to screen for the ...

Normochromic Describes RBCs that are normal in color, containing the normal amount ofhemoglobin Normochromic cells are seen in anemia following acute blood loss Normocyte Normal sized ...

A decades-old challenge in neuroscience has been solved by harnessing artificial intelligence (AI) to identify the electrical signatures of different types of brain cells for the first time, as part ...

May 7, 2025 — A recent study found that six cardiometabolic risk groups previously identified in middle-aged individuals can also be applied to older adults without diabetes. Using data from the ...

Apr. 25, 2025 — Chimpanzee naive pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) can now be grown in cellular cultures, reveals a recent study. They successfully created chimpanzee early embryo models ...

Granulocytes are a type of white blood cell that appear granular when viewed under a microscope. Immature granulocytes (IGs) develop in the bone marrow, where they give rise to cells called ...

The symptoms are largely due to the onset of anemia (characterized by the loss of red blood cells) and thrombocytopenia (the loss of blood-clotting platelet cells). With the proliferation of leukemic ...
