The biological cycle of our existence seems relatively straightforward: we’re born, we live, we die. The end. But when you examine existence at the cellular level, things get a bit more ...

Bacteria consumed by immune cells become part of the cell Date: February 26, 2025 Source: University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus Summary: Immune cells that eat bacteria in the body don't ...

Feb. 4, 2025 — Research has shown that a potential new targeted therapy for childhood brain cancer is effective in infiltrating and killing tumor cells in ... Feb. 4, 2025 — Researchers have ...

Neural stem cells are multipotent adult stem cells present in the adult central nervous system that can self-renew, and give rise to new neurons and supporting cells called glial cells.

Your body is made of cells -- trillions of them. Cells are the basic building blocks of people and all other living things. Researchers study them to learn more about health and diseases.

We thank Professor John L. Rubenstein for his comments, suggestions, and edits. We are grateful to Professor Hua Han for sharing the Rbpj floxed mice, and Professor Jean M. Hebert for sharing ...

This is coordinated through a dynamic, multi-directional cellular interplay between vascular, neuronal, and glial cells. Molecular exchanges across the blood–brain barrier or the close matching of ...

The widely accepted concept of the neurovascular unit suggests that proper brain function relies on dynamic communication and homeostatic signaling among neurons, glial cells, and vascular compartment ...

Thus, generation of new neurons is the rosetta stone in contemporary neuroscience. Glial cells support central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis through evolutionary conserved mechanisms. Upon damage, ...

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 ...
