A new Northwestern Medicine study publishing in Nature Medicine suggests a promising alternative to previous attempts to ...

CD8+ T cells accumulate in atherosclerotic plaques. Researchers identify a crucial signaling pathway -- with therapeutic potential.

CD8 + T cells accumulate in atherosclerotic plaques. LMU researchers identify a crucial signaling pathway—with therapeutic potential. For a long time, macrophages and foam cells were considered ...

The National Psoriasis Foundation explains that plaques often appear as raised, red patches covered with a silvery white buildup of dead skin cells or scales on Caucasian skin. On skin of color ...

CD8+ T cells accumulate in atherosclerotic plaques. LMU researchers identify a crucial signaling pathway - with therapeutic potential. Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of life-threatening ...

For more than three decades, scientists have been racing to stop Alzheimer's disease by removing amyloid beta plaques - sticky clumps of toxic protein that accumulate in the brain.

When the researchers removed CX3CL1 receptors from one of the immune cells in aspartame-fed mice, the plaque accumulation didn’t occur. The findings were published Wednesday in the journal Cell ...

However, when researchers eliminated CX3CL1 receptors from one of the immune cells in aspartame-fed mice, the harmful plaque buildup didn't occur. These results point to CX3CL1’s role in ...

The study focuses on how immune cells react to amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques, a hallmark of Alzheimer's, and how this immune response differs from the reaction to bacterial toxins. "Bacteria cannot ...
