Blood clots form in response to signals from the lungs of cancer patients—not from other organ sites, as previously ...

Scientists uncover an enzyme that boosts cancer cell metabolism to fuel growth. The enzyme, GUK1, supports metabolism in cancer cells to help tumors grow.

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common and severe complication that occurs after stem cell transplantation, where the ...

A New Ventilator-on-a-Chip Model to Study Lung Damage Sep. 19, 2024 — Scientists are now able to directly compare the different kinds of injury that mechanical ventilation causes to cells in the ...

Nearly 60,000 people are diagnosed with oral cancer in the U.S. every year, according to the American Cancer Society, and the rate of new cases continues to rise.

An approach considering stem cell-based therapy of CF-injured lungs should achieve a permanent correction of the CF genetic defect. Lung injury is needed for engraftment of stem cells into the lung.

Scientists led by Olena Taratula, a nanomedicine researcher at Oregon State University, have found a way to better ensure the drug used to combat the disease reaches tumor cells without damaging ...

Stem cell biotechnology is a field of biotechnology ... Optimized lentiviral transduction enhances gene delivery in human iPSC-derived lung organoids, enabling advanced mechanistic studies in ...

Stem-cell differentiation is the process by which a more specialised cell is formed from a stem cell, leading to loss of some of the stem cell's developmental potential. Stem-cell differentiation ...

Prior to the fridge, lungs would be kept on ice, which could damage them. The fridge allows for more flexibility in scheduling, which in turn can lead to fewer mistakes. Other promising news is on ...

Many cells in multicellular organisms are specialised. They have specific roles in the organism of which they are part. Their structure is adapted to their function. They are often grouped ...
