Over time, these cells become increasingly resistant to the controls that maintain normal tissue — and as a result, they divide more rapidly than their progenitors and become less dependent on ...

focusing not on the damaged tissue, but on the so-called 'normal-appearing white matter' tissue instead. People with MS have clusters, or nodules, of a specific type of immune cell known as microglia.

For example, the processes involved in wound healing depend on positional information in order for normal tissue architecture to be restored. Such positional signals are also crucial for the ...

Tweaking the spacing between binding domains on the ECM surrounding cancer cells can boost their killing via ultrasound ...

These studies focus on the role of the microvasculature in tissue damage. Endothelial cells generate 20-fold more of a unique form of acid sphingomyelinase (ASMase), termed Secretory ASMase, than any ...
