Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron ...

Scientists developed a technique to grow cells that control voluntary movement, a discovery that could aid ALS and spinal injury research.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that occurs in the lung, caused by bacteria. It is spread through the air and is preventable and even curable. However, it is still a serious illness that ...

A UCLA research team has identified the best design for a promising new type of immunotherapy that could be mass-produced to ...

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

The immune system is comprised of two separate active arms of immunity to provide robust protection against disease. The two separate systems of immunity include the innate and adaptive immune ...

When we hear sounds, specialized cells in the cochlear nucleus are the first to process that information, enabling our brains to understand speech, enjoy music and recognize various noises. For ...

Gut support cells communicate with surprising precision – like brain neurons – using tiny extensions to send instructions to the stem cells responsible for maintaining and healing the intestine. The ...

A study led by Umeå University, Sweden, have made new discoveries about how stem cells develop and transition into specialised cells. The discovery can provide increased understanding of how cells ...

Your immune system is your body’s built-in defense network, working nonstop to protect you from bacteria, viruses, and other ...
