Understanding How Interleukin-6 Contributes to Suppress Allergic Asthma and Atopy

The immune system has a biological telecommunications system -; small proteins known as interleukins that send signals among the leukocyte white blood cells to control their defense against infections or nascent cancer.

Diet Plays a Bigger Role in Shaping Intestinal Microbiota Composition Than Defensins

Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have found that among the many factors that shape the intestinal microbiota composition, diet has a much stronger impact than defensins, which are intestinal defence molecules produced by the body.

Analyzing the Cell Division in Stem Cells

What appears to be a simple task for a cell—splitting in two—is indeed a complex series of engineering puzzles. To produce two working cells, a splitting cell has to maneuver its interiors in such a way that the appropriate components will end up in each cell.

Modulation of ERK Signaling Could be Used to Stimulate Regeneration

Why do some animals regenerate lost tissues after injury while others don't? Researchers from the lab of Kerstin Bartscherer (Osnabrück University and formerly Hubrecht Institute) and Ashley Seifert (University of Kentucky) studied spiny mice, which have a remarkable regenerative capacity, to answer this question.

A Study on Neural Crest Cell

As per a new study from the University of Bath, a neural crest cell (a kind of stem cell) starts with the capacity to differentiate into numerous specialist cell kinds, but it also seems to retain the ability to “change its mind” and differentiate again when the situations are appropriate.

Mathematical Mechanism Behind the Rugged Structures at Cell Boundaries

The mathematical and biological mechanisms underlying the rugged structures at cell boundaries present in tissues like the kidneys and nasal glands have been discovered.

Using Natural Collagen Extracted from Squid as Tissue Scaffold for Growing Cells

Collagen is the basic protein that makes up the intercellular matrix, or in other words, the environment for the connective tissue cells of our body, such as tendons, bone, and cartilage.

Hair-Coloring Stem Cells in the Hair Germ Compartment Trigger Pigmentation

Some stem cells have a special capacity to mobilize among growth compartments in hair follicles; however, they get stuck with age in people. Hence, they lose their capacity to mature and retain hair color, as per new research.

Using Cellular Reprogramming to Make the Heart Function Like New Again

A recent study using mice has revealed a way to turn back the clock after heart attack. The researchers behind the work used RNAs to instruct cells in an injured heart to eliminate scar tissue and recreate cardiac muscle, allowing the heart to function like new again.

Gut Microbiome and Enhanced Tumor Immune Response in Pancreatic Cancer Survivors

Even as pancreatic cancer treatments advance, only around 9% of patients live beyond five years. Scientists have failed to identify genetic distinctions that explain why some patients live for a long time and others do not, so they have moved their emphasis to the gut microbiome.
