Immune cells released from bone marrow in the skull in response to chronic stress and adversity could play a key role in symptoms of depression and anxiety, say researchers. The discovery—found in a ...

Depression is thought to affect over 250 million people around the world. It is a condition that is difficult to treat because there is still a lot we don’t know about why it happens at the biological ...

At times, aging doesn’t become evident in wrinkles or in gray hair, it occurs deep inside your body, in cells that have ceased to divide but are still alive. These “zombie cells,” or senescent cells ...

Treating rare diseases can be complicated at the best of times, and it gets even more complicated when different patients with the same disease exhibit different symptoms. Now, researchers from Japan ...

The gastrointestinal tract is the biggest immune organ in mammals. The gut extends its influence all over the body through various links like the gut-liver axis, the gut-lung axis, and the gut-brain ...

The human small intestine absorbs nutrients while protecting us from potentially harmful microbes. One of the cell types that plays a key role in this protection is the microfold cell (M cell). These ...

Hypothyroidism is a significant risk factor for IPF, with a higher prevalence in IPF patients compared to the general population. Mendelian randomization confirmed the association between ...

People with severe chronic pain were far more likely to have elevated levels of eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, a new study found, hinting at an immune link to pain – but the rise in these ...

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 ...

Researchers from Xinjiang Medical University used single-cell RNA sequencing to identify PI3+S100A7+ keratinocytes in early-stage HPV-positive cervical cancer. These cells interact closely with immune ...
