Every multicellular organism, from tiny worms to humans, elephants, and whales, needs a way for their cells to connect with each other to form tissues, organs, and organize their overall body plan.

The immune system relies on complex interactions between cells to orchestrate effective responses against pathogens and tumours. Among these, T cells play a pivotal role through their ability to ...

Understanding the interplay between T cells and B cells is pivotal to delineating both protective immunity and the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Central to this dynamic are specialised CD4⁺ T ...

Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a biochemical technique that captures fleeting ...

T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on ...

This application note explores how advanced cytometry and imaging approaches enable confident detection and analysis of ...

Bacteriophages, or phages, viruses that selectively target and infect bacteria, have drawn growing attention for their potential use in a host of biotechnological processes to benefit humankind, from ...

New simulator and computational tools generate realistic ‘virtual tissues’ and map cell-to-cell ‘conversations’ from spatial transcriptomics data, potentially accelerating AI-driven discoveries in ...

Human genes are written in long strings of three-letter units composed of four different nucleotides. These units—or ...

Among the most promising tools of cancer therapy, engineered immune cells known as chimeric antigen-receptor (CAR) T cells have already transformed the treatment of blood cancers. Yet, despite their ...
