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 finds small molecules have significant impact on different brain, ro
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
A recent study from the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience and the VIB-KU Leuven Centre for Brain and Disease Research demonstrates that a little molecule known as microRNA-132 can significantly affect many brain cells and may be related to Alzheimer's disease.

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

Stem cells role in protecting gastric mucosa, finds study
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
The parietal, chief, pit, and neck cells make up the gastric corpus, which is a major component of the glandular stomach. Each of these specialised epithelial cells plays a crucial part in digestion, and they are constantly replenished by new ones created by stem cell differentiation. Gastri

Researchers find neurons linked to chronic stress
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
A set of nerve cells in the mouse brain have been shown to play a role in the development of unpleasant emotional states and long-term stress, according to researchers at Sweden's Karolinska Institutet. The neurons, which have been mapped using a variety of cutting-edge methods, also include

Drug delivery method reverse senescence of stem cells: Study
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
Researchers discovered methods for removing older cells from cultures when the capture rate is low. Rather than removing old cells, it is preferable to prevent them from entering senescence in the first place.

'Ageing' immune cell levels may predict how well we respond to vaccines: R
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
Cambridge scientists have discovered a blood pattern that could help predict how well an individual will respond to immunisations. The study, which was published in Nature Communications, could explain why, even within susceptible patient groups, some people respond better to immunisations t

Making uniform DNA-encapsulating microgels that simulate live cells: Study
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
In a 'self-organized' environment, the live cell contains physiologically important components such as genetic material (DNA) and proteins. Understanding this process of self-assembly can explain the fundamental mechanism of living matter self-organization. Water/oil (w/o) or water/water (w/

Genetic mutations direct immune defences in leukaemia linked rare bone mar
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
A discovery that may result in novel medicines to halt or reverse the disease could be beneficial to patients with a rare genetic bone marrow problem who are at an elevated risk of blood malignancies.

Study finds how space travel alters gene expression in white blood cells,
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
There is growing evidence that illnesses are more likely to affect astronauts in space. For instance, respiratory and non-respiratory illnesses are rather prevalent among astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS), as well as skin rashes. Additionally, it is known that astrona

Researchers find how HIV can lie dormant in brain
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV) inserts a copy of its DNA into human immune cells as a component of its life cycle. HIV latency is the term used to describe the long-lasting inert, latent condition that some of these newly infected immune cells might enter.
