The researchers used a technique called two-photon polymerisation, in which a liquid resin called a photoresist solidifies ...

For the first time, scientists have 3-D printed objects within living cells, including a 10-micrometer long elephant and tiny “barcodes” that could help track individual cells. Remarkably, many of the ...

Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan studied what happens when macrophages—a type of immune cell—encounter dying cancer cells in tumors and discovered a mechanism that accelerates tumor growth.

Researchers have discovered how an inflammatory feedback loop initiated as cancer cells die helps cancer hijack immune ...

When the macrophages’ ability to consume dying cancer cells or Upd3 production was decreased, tumor growth was significantly ...

Insects possess a remarkable ability to develop innate immune memory, and the mechanisms underlying this process are becoming a central topic in innate immunity research.
