The innate immune response is the body's first line of defense against infection, and a successful immune defense takes a village: a combination of physical barriers, chemical attacks, and an army of ...

CD8 + T cells accumulate in atherosclerotic plaques. LMU researchers identify a crucial signaling pathway—with therapeutic potential. For a long time, macrophages and foam cells were considered the ...

Cellular repair inside laboratory environments remains a huge focus across biochemistry. Researchers keep pushing to see how short amino acid chains talk Peptides are short chains of amino acids ...

Cell migration is a multistep process essential to various physiological functions, including immune cell movement and embryonic development, as well as pathological conditions like tumor metastasis.

During brain development, neurons can regulate their movement until they reach their final destination thanks to a "molecular switch" involving the protein Teneurin 4 (Ten4). This protein can guide ...
