How do mobile cell types like leukocytes or metastatic cancer cells reach their place of action during immune surveillance or cancer dissemination, respectively? Researchers have now shown that ...

Directional migration of leukocytes is indispensable to innate immunity for host defense. However, recruitment of leukocytes to a site of tissue injury also constitutes a leading cause for ...

Malignant transformation requires the interaction of cancer cells with their microenvironment, including infiltrating leukocytes. However, somatic mutational studies have focused on alterations in ...

The movement of leukocytes from the circulatory system to the site of inflammation and subsequent attachment forms an integral part of the innate immune system. The three steps of leukocyte rolling, ...

Scientists led by Prof. LIU Jing from the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have created a leukocyte-like liquid metallic entity that vividly ...

Background: When urine infections are missed in febrile young infants with normal urinalysis, clinicians may worry about the risk – hitherto unverified – of concomitant invasion of blood and ...

Researchers at Tel Aviv University (TAU) say they have developed a novel technique to deliver therapeutic proteins to specific cells. They believe their method may prove useful in treating myriad ...

Prior studies have indicated that prolonged insufficient sleep and poor sleep quality are associated with a heightened risk of cardiovascular diseases, dementia and psychiatric disorders. Researchers ...

Space travel alters gene expression in leukocytes and could explain the weakened immune system that astronauts experience. Leaving the Earth’s atmosphere puts the human body under enormous ...
