Study Reveals How Fungal Enzymes and Clotting Proteins Clog Human Airways

Asthma affects more than 300 million people worldwide, and while many can control their symptoms with inhaled steroid medications, about 10% develop a more severe form that does not respond well to these treatments. This steroid-resistant asthma is one of the most difficult forms of the disease to manage.

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.

Aged Neutrophils With CCL3 Drive Tumor Growth Across Cancers

Renowned as first responders to threatening infections, neutrophils also happen to feature prominently in the microenvironment of tumors, where they and other immune cells play opposing and frequently mutable roles in promoting-or resisting-cancer progression.
