The findings could guide future efforts to ... Dec. 12, 2024 — Scientists have discovered that our specialized immune cells, called T cells, are what they eat -- their switch from functional to ...

Stem cells are cells that have the capacity to self-renew by dividing and to develop into more mature, specialised cells. Stem cells can be unipotent, multipotent, pluripotent or totipotent ...

A precancerous cell is a cell with certain abnormalities that makes it more likely to become cancerous. These abnormalities don't mean that it will become cancer—in fact, most don't—but the diagnosis ...

T cells are white blood cells that are important for adaptive immunity. They have unique cell surface receptors that are generated by randomly assorting genes. These receptors allow T cells to ...

Quantification is based on the number of fluorescently stained cells or cell confluency. In other words, a graph showing how cell number or confluency changes over time is primarily used to ...

You can increase white blood cells (WBCs) by taking certain medications and eating immune-boosting foods, like yogurt, lean protein foods, antioxidant-rich vegetables, and more. Maintaining a normal ...

But a new study, published Nov. 19 in Current Biology, offers compelling evidence that even tiny single-cell creatures such as ciliates and amoebae, as well as the cells in our own bodies, could ...

Although neurons are considered the basic units of the brain and nervous system, they do not do all the work. Glia are a non-neuronal category of cells that do not transmit electrical signals but ...

The disease gets its name because when you have SCD, your red blood cells look like a sickle, which is a C-shaped farm tool. Normal red blood cells are round and pliable. With sickle cell ...
