Advanced Diagnostic Technologies Target Inaccessible Plasma Cells Housed inside Bones

For decades, immunologists have known that the body's most durable defenses depend on plasma cells, the antibody-producing cells responsible for long-term immune memory.

Computational Chemistry Breakthrough Yields Targeted Molecule for Acute Myeloid Leukemia Treatment

Pushing the accelerator and the brake at the same time is rarely a good idea. But researchers at the University of Gothenburg are using this approach to treat leukemia.

Loss of Matrix Receptors Impairs Actin Cytoskeleton Remodeling, Cell Spreading, and Osteogenic Differentiation

During bone healing, skeletal progenitor cells (SPCs), which can multiply and develop into bone-forming cells, move to the injury site and help build new bone.

Advanced RNA Sequencing Separates Rare Regenerative Cells From Mature Tissue

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Hospital for Special Surgery have discovered the unspecialized stem cells that give rise to the body's tendons and ligaments, the tissues connecting muscles and bones.

Novel T-Cell Engineering Strategy Prevents Deadly Osteosarcoma Lung Metastasis

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have discovered that removing the gene for Regnase-1 from engineered immune cells makes them more effective at treating relapsed osteosarcoma.

Locally Activated Skull T Cells Halt Glioblastoma Growth in Mice

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have discovered lymph node-like structures in the skull bone marrow of mice for the first time and demonstrated that they act as rapid first responders against brain cancer before distant lymph nodes get the signal that abnormal cells are present.

Study Shows How Genetic Switches Help 3D Printed Bone Grow Blood Vessels

An interdisciplinary team of engineers and chemists at Penn State has laid the groundwork to 3D print spheroids - tiny clusters of living cells - capable of regenerating bone tissue in response to severe trauma or infections.

New Potential Target for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

The study uncovers how macrophages recruit nerves in triple-negative breast cancer, suggesting BDNF signaling as a critical factor in tumor progression.

Bone Marrow T Cells Exhibit Conditional Preparedness Against Cancer

A team led by researchers from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), the HI-STEM Stem Cell Institute, and Medical Clinic V at Heidelberg University Hospital (UKHD) has characterized T cells in the bone marrow in cases of multiple myeloma and acute myeloid leukemia: A specific group of tumor-reactive T cells can recognize and, in principle, fight cancer cells, but is often not sufficiently activated.

Scientists Track Specialized Small RNAs Governing Safe Stem Cell Development

Scientists are shedding new light on a little-known biological system that could help unlock the full potential of stem cell therapy, one of the most promising areas of modern medicine.

Blood Immune Cells Cross Protective Barriers to Transform Aging Brains

The brain's immune system has long been thought to exist independently from the rest of the body, complete with its own specialized immune cells and a blood-brain barrier that limits what can travel into the brain.

Malaria Infection Causes Permanent Damage to Resident Splenic CD163 Macrophages

Macrophages formed in the bone marrow can only assume the function of embryonal phagocytes, or "scavenger cells," to a certain degree according to a study by the University of Bonn and the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity at the University of Melbourne.

Innovative SenMayo Gene Set Consistently Identifies Diverse Senescent Cells

A series of seven Mayo Clinic studies is helping reshape scientists' understanding of senescent, or "zombie," cells - aging cells that no longer divide but remain metabolically active and release inflammatory molecules that contribute to age-related diseases.

How Elephants May Hear Ground Vibrations Over Long Distances

Elephants' unique ear anatomy supports low-frequency bone conduction, offering insights into their ability to detect ground vibrations for communication.

Dengue Virus Replicates Inside Memory B Cells to Evade Immunity

Researchers at the University of Vermont Robert Larner, M.D. College of Medicine and Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, NY, have discovered that dengue virus can infect and replicate inside memory B cells, immune cells traditionally understood to help protect the body from infection.

3D Mapping of Tonsil Genetic Structures Unlocks Antibody Optimization

About 2 meters worth of genetic material must fit into the nucleus of each and every one of most of our trillions of cells, coiling and winding to form what looks like a tangled mess.

Study Uncovers Two Distinct Embryonic Macrophage Populations with Different Repair Abilities

In leukemia's most aggressive forms, the blood cell factories in our bone marrow falter. Instead of dividing and multiplying at their usual prolific pace, generating hundreds of billions of new cells daily, some precursor cells stall out at an immature stage.
