Decades of research have left knowledge gaps about cells that regulate the immune system: Purdue and NIH Four decades of research have produced a vast pool of knowledge about regulatory T cells, a ...

The cells in our bodies move in groups during biological processes such as wound healing and tissue development—but because of resistance, or viscosity, those cells can't just neatly glide past each ...

Mast cells are immune cells that responds to different pathogens, such as bacteria and parasites. In response to these pathogens, mast cells release different chemicals, such as histamine and heparin, ...
