At the surface, the immune response to a flu virus is simple. Some cells recognize the pathogen and send a signal to the ...

T-bet is a transcription factor, one of the control proteins in the cell nucleus that can turn specific groups of genes on ...

A study finds that, in mouse models, cancer cells from metastatic lymph nodes can escape into the circulation by invading nodal blood vessels, leading to the development of metastases in other ...

Lung cancer is a devastating disease with poor prognosis. The design of better therapies for lung cancer patients would be greatly aided by good mouse models that closely resemble the human disease.

The lung tumors in mice result from changes similar to those seen in human patients. ... New mouse could help understand how some lung cancer cells evade drug treatment Date: December 10, 2009 ...

After flu infection, memory T cells in the lung migrate to nearby lymph nodes via CCR5, forming a long-lasting immune reservoir. This discovery reveals a backup strategy for lung immunity and may ...

Pereira et al. 1 and Brown et al. 2 have recently reported data obtained with the use of mouse models that support the concept of the spread of metastatic cells from lymph nodes through the ...

Researchers in Japan have successfully generated lung cells similar to alveolar epithelial type 2 (AT2) cells from mouse ...

The Innovation Center of NanoMedicine has summarized the results of its collaborative research with Professor Kanjiro Miyata's group from the Department of Materials Engineering/Bioengineering at the ...

The long-held paradigm that priming during lung infections takes place only in the draining lymph nodes has been upended, and it will be key to developing more efficient vaccinations and therapies for ...

Using video microscopy in the living mouse lung, UC San Francisco scientists have revealed that the lungs play a previously unrecognized role in blood production. As reported online March 22, 2017, in ...
