The tiny pantheon known as the Asgard archaea bear traits that hint at how plants, animals and fungi emerged on Earth.

The human small intestine absorbs nutrients while protecting us from potentially harmful microbes. One of the cell types that ...

Memory T cells are a special type of white blood cell that "remember" past infections and vaccines, helping our bodies to quickly respond if we encounter the same germs again. These cells are found ...

The authors revealed the cellular heterogeneity of companion cells (CCs) and demonstrated that the florigen gene FT is highly expressed in a specific subpopulation of these CCs in Arabidopsis. Through ...

Regenerative medicine combines tissue engineering and cell therapies to repair or replace damaged human tissues and organs. Key applications include treating osteoarthritis with mesenchymal stem cells ...

This fundamental study uncovers the unique molecular features of Arabidopsis phloem companion cells that highly express FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT). These FT-expressing cells constitute a distinct ...

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 ...

The study showed that fat tissue in larger bodies tends to be prone to "senescence," meaning some cells act aged and are more damaged than younger cells. Scientists suspect these senescent cells may ...

These images use color markers—blue for nuclei, red for cell membranes, and green for fluid—to show that spaces between cells shrink as fluid moves out during tissue compression, from left to right ...

The VENTANA TROP2 (EPR20043) RxDx Device is an immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay combined with a digital pathology algorithm to determine patient treatment. The device uses artificial ...

Researchers have discovered a previously unknown type of connective tissue cells that surround cancer cells in pancreatic tumors. The newly discovered cells counteract tumor development and may ...
