Dendritic cells (DCs) are heterogeneous. The migratory DCs traffic from tissues to lymph nodes, where they mature. The resident DCs spend their entire lifespan in the lymphoid organs in an ...

Dendritic cells (DCs) actively participate in maintaining this balance. Under steady-state conditions, DCs remain in an immature state and do not mount an immune response against circulating self ...

They can be injected into the body to make the cells of the immune system better at responding to and destroying cancer cells. These include whole cell vaccines and dendritic cell vaccines. A whole ...

Unlike the HeLa cell line named after her, Henrietta Lacks was little heard of until the 2010 publication of Rebecca Skloot’s book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. Born in 1920 in Virginia, ...

Oct. 9, 2024 — Researchers have developed a groundbreaking cell culture platform that enables the formation of two distinct but interconnected vascular networks. Their breakthrough holds ...

Oct. 9, 2024 — Scientists have long wondered why animals get the DNA inside their mitochondria, the cell's energy center, only from their mothers. New research explains why and offers hope for ...

According to many experts, we may soon find ourselves using fuel cells to generate electrical power for all sorts of objects we use every day. A fuel cell is a device that uses a source of fuel ...

A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their ...

Cells are the smallest unit of life and the building blocks for all organisms. Each component of a cell has its own function. Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus ...

From the first in-car phones of the 1940s to the best smartphones of today, the evolution of cell phones is nothing short of remarkable. To that end, let’s look at the history of cell phones.
