Signaling is fundamental to how cells sense and respond to their environment—but in immune cells, those signals must be ...

In new research, scientists at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, in collaboration with ...

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 ...

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, ...

Macrophages, the immune system’s front-line scavenger cells, do more than simply digest dead cells. A new study published in ...

Scientists led by Sergey Troyanovsky, Ph.D., professor of Dermatology and of Cell and Developmental Biology, have uncovered new intracellular mechanisms promoting cell-cell adhesion, a process ...

Terahertz (THz) radiation is increasingly explored for biomedical applications, however, its non-thermal effects on cellular metabolism and regulatory networks remain insufficiently characterized.

Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC have developed a new type of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell that elicits a more controlled immune response to cancer in mice—effectively ...

Researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of University of Southern California (USC) have developed a new type of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell that elicits a more controlled immune response ...
