Treatment resistance and relapse in the most common type of lung cancer can be traced to a protein called agrin, according to ...

Scientists have identified a previously unknown type of neural stem cell (pNSC) that exists outside the brain and spinal cord, overturning decades of neuroscience dogma.

Pulmonary sarcoidosis is a lung disease characterized by granulomas -- tiny clumps of immune cells that form in response to inflammation. It's the most inflammatory of the interstitial lung diseases ...

Researchers have discovered that 'DEAD-box helicases 54 (DDX54)', a type of RNA-binding protein, is the master regulator that hinders the effectiveness of immunotherapy -- opening a new path for lung ...

For decades, scientists assumed that neural stem cells (NSCs) only occur in the brain and spinal cord. A new international ...

VQ Biomedical, spun out of Duke University, has developed a novel, minimally invasive catheter designed to deliver oxygen directly to the bloodstream. The catheter bypasses the lungs, giving ARDS ...

Stem cells are cells that have the capacity to self-renew by dividing and to develop into more mature, specialised cells. Stem cells can be unipotent, multipotent, pluripotent or totipotent ...

Cell biology is the discipline of biological sciences that studies the structure, physiology, growth, reproduction and death of cells. Research in cell biology uses microscopic and molecular tools ...

Lung cancer liver metastases are tumors that form in the liver from cancer cells that have broken away from the primary cancer and spread through the blood or lymphatic system. The liver is a common ...

To start, pneumonia is a chest infection that causes inflammation of the air sacs in the lungs. Lung cancer, on the other hand, occurs when cells grow out of control and form tumors. Signs of lung ...

The Oregon Stem Cell Center conducts basic and applied research in the field of Stem Cell Biology with the long term goal to harness the properties of stem cells for regenerative medicine and cell ...
