Researchers suggest Musashi-2 controls skeletal muscle composition
Updated : 2 years, 6 months ago IST
Now, a team led by Assistant Professor Yasuro Furuichi from Tokyo Metropolitan University have emerged with a key part of the puzzle. In previous work, they found that Musashi-2 (Msi2), a protein originally discovered in nerve cells, was also expressed in skeletal muscle tissue.

Researchers give more insight into T cell functions
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
Researchers developed a tissue-imitating hydrogel model to show that more elastic tissues encourage T cells to develop into effector-like T cells with powerful tumor-killing potential, while more viscous tissues encourage them to develop into memory-like T cells

Study suggests new concept to understand T cell traits, functions
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
T cells encounter various mechanical cues in various tissues. In order to demonstrate that more elastic tissues encourage T cells to develop into effector-like T cells with potent tumor-killing potential, while more viscous tissues encourage them to develop into memory-like T cells, research
