Researchers have been trying for decades to stop the cells that damage the lung in people with pulmonary fibrosis. Now a team of Columbia and UCSD researchers may have found a clever solution that ...

“It doesn’t surprise me per se, because the theory was always there.” Experiments in the 1960s had revealed that the fibroblast-containing dermal compartment of the skin determines the identity of the ...

Gene editing techniques may eventually allow trisomy to be treated at the cellular level, according to an in vitro ...

The scientists behind the project say the revelation could lead to new, targeted treatments. The finding that fibroblasts transform to play an active role in the immune response came as a surprise to ...

Our research focuses on the tumor-permissive molecular mechanisms underlying cancer-associated fibroblast function as well as immune ... and diverse molecular- and cell-biological techniques enabling ...
