As scientists question the rise in early colon cancer cases, a new study is offering some potential answers. Colored scanning ...

Inflammatory processes are the body’s defence against local damage and disease. Inflammation involves the influx into organs of immune cells (white blood cells) from the blood. These cells deal with ...

Macrophages, a type of white blood cell, adjust their molecular signaling patterns immediately after an infection, the researchers found. This short-term memory changes how macrophages respond to ...

In healthy tissues, macrophages are a type of white blood cell that play an essential role by sweeping up things such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites in the event of infection.

Scientists at the Leibniz Institute on Aging—Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena have discovered a previously unknown ...

The research team focused on monocytes (a type of white blood cell) that travel through the bloodstream to infiltrate diseased muscles and become inflammatory macrophages, which promote muscle ...

Innate immune cells are white blood cells that mediate innate immunity and include basophils, dendritic cells, eosinophils, Langerhans cells, mast cells, monocytes and macrophages, neutrophils and ...

The liver is famous for its remarkable ability to regenerate, but that healing power depends heavily on the actions of its ...

such as white blood cells known as macrophages. While multiple factors enable Salmonella to adapt to harsh conditions experienced during infection, a new Yale study reveals the molecular basis for ...

A new study led by researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) suggests that currently available therapies may help control chronic muscle inflammation in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a ...
