Microscopy images of antigen-inexperienced (‘naïve’) mouse CD8 T cells (green). A subset of these cells expresses Dapl1 protein (red), identifying a population committed to a memory stem-like lineage.

When cells are healthy, we don't expect them to suddenly change cell types. A skin cell on your hand won't naturally morph into a brain cell, and vice versa. That's thanks to epigenetic memory, which ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have discovered that some CAR-T cells engineered to fight cancer and other conditions carry the memory of past encounters with ...

A team of immunologists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has turned what we know about T-cells, one of the most important parts of the body's immune system, on its head, opening the door to ...

Our brain is arguably the organ that most distinguishes humans from other primates. Its exceptional size, complexity and capabilities far exceed those of any other species on Earth. Yet humans share ...

A large-scale atlas of mouse brain cells has revealed that aging does not affect all brain cell types equally. Some cell ...
