Cedars-Sinai researchers created “young” immune cells from human stem cells that reversed cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s symptoms in mice. The treated animals showed better memory and healthier ...

Even in death, cells leave a trace. Scientists have discovered a microscopic “Footprint of Death” that not only helps the immune system clean up but can also give viruses a new way to spread infection ...

Every day, billions of damaged or unnecessary cells die and are swept away by the immune system’s cleanup crew—phagocytes. But when that clearance falters, dangerous cells can linger, fueling cancer ...

Given the success of Volume I of this Research Topic, and the rapidly evolving subject area, we are pleased to announce the launch of Volume II: The Function of Phagocytes in Non-Mammals.

One of this year's coveted Lasker Awards has gone to Zhijian "James" Chen, a scientist behind a key immune-system discovery. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

In this study, Ferling and colleagues provide convincing evidence demonstrating that myeloid cells exert distinct, cargo-dependent responses during and after phagocytosis. These important findings ...

A tandem signaling process turns ordinary cells into an efficient cleanup crew. Billions of our cells die every day to make way for the growth of new ones. Most of these goners are cleaned up by ...

Investigators at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Augsburg in Germany , found that in the eye of the mouse macrophages are already forming in the vitreous body in the embryonic stage. A ...

Macrophages, also known as scavenger cells, are part of our immune system. They destroy invading pathogens and are found in the organs and the bloodstream. Led by Prof. Dr. Peter Wieghofer, professor ...
