A small subpopulation of highly plastic cancer cells has been found to be for cancer progression and treatment resistance.

A small number of cancer cells with the ability to change their identities and behaviors appear to be a key driver of cancer ...

Immune cells called B cells make antibodies that fight off invading bacteria, viruses and other foreign substances. During their preparation for this battle, B cells transiently revert to a more ...

T cells are central mediators of autoimmune disease pathogenesis, yet their functional states are not defined solely by antigen recognition or canonical ...

Plasticity in cancer cells describes their inherent ability to undergo alterations and turn certain features on and off at different times. This flexibility sometimes occurs as a result of epigenetic ...

The study, published in British scientific journal Nature, suggests that the disease may begin in basal stem cells — long-lived cells that help repair and replace damaged tissue in the lungs — ...

Scientists at the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center (HICCC) have discovered a key mechanism that makes prostate cancer cells resistant to the latest drugs used to treat them. Their findings, ...

After spending years tracing the origin and migration pattern of an unusual type of immune cell in mice, researchers headed by a team at The Ohio State University College of Medicine have shown how ...
