Plant pests such as bacteria and fungi lead to significant yield losses in agriculture. In order to develop new strategies ...

Biologists have identified important components and mechanisms of the molecular machinery that transmits information about a pathogen encounter within the plant organism.

New research has identified crucial components and mechanisms of the plant immune system, potentially helping to develop ...

Helping people remain healthy and fit for as long as possible will be crucial as populations around the world get older.

Plant pests such as bacteria and fungi lead to significant yield losses in agriculture. In order to develop new strategies against such pathogens ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have improved our understanding of how rotavirus, ...

Cancer cells can poison attacking immune cells by filling them with defective mitochondria ― dampening the body’s defensive forces and helping the tumour to evade eradication 1. These findings ...

This study utilized meta-analysis to evaluate CAR-T-cell therapy efficacy and safety and employed two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to investigate the causal links between immune cells ...

Innate immune cells are white blood cells that mediate innate immunity and include basophils, dendritic cells, eosinophils, Langerhans cells, mast cells, monocytes and macrophages, neutrophils and ...

At the single-cell level, the assembly of PFTs leads to deleterious pores in the plasma membrane of immune cells, permeabilization, and ion influx and/or outflow (i.e. calcium or potassium). Cells can ...

In doing so, they discovered a novel immune response state, which they called PRIMER, that emerged in cells at specific immune hotspots. The PRIMER cells expressed a new transcription factor—a ...
