Lipid imbalance triggered by Snail-driven epithelial–mesenchymal transition creates a cholesterol-dependent vulnerability ...

Epithelial tissues are in constant interaction with their environment. Maintaining their functionality requires dynamic balance (homeostasis) and that their cell numbers are tightly regulated. This is ...

We would like to thank Joseph d’Alessandro for some codes, as well as all the members of the “Cell adhesion and Mechanics” team for helpful discussions. This work was supported by the European ...

Inside our bodies, countless decisions play out silently at the cellular level. Some cells divide, some die, and others are forced out when they no longer serve their purpose. A study from King’s ...

Flu shot season is around the corner, and while injections remain the most common form of vaccination, scientists are working hard to find other ways to deliver inoculations that don’t involve shoving ...

Imagine getting your next flu shot not through a syringe, but with something as familiar as flossing your teeth. A new proof-of-concept study led by Harvinder Singh Gill, a professor of nanomedicine ...

Researchers have demonstrated a novel vaccine delivery method in an animal model, using dental floss to introduce vaccine via the tissue between the teeth and gums. The testing found that the new ...
