What Is B-Cell Lymphoma? B-cell lymphoma is a cancer that forms in your white blood cells called lymphocytes. These cells are made by your lymphatic system, which plays an important role in immunity.

Carcinoma is a type of cancer that starts in cells that make up the skin or the tissue lining organs, such as the liver or kidneys. Like other types of cancer, carcinomas are abnormal cells that ...

This study aims to investigate whether hypothalamic mast cells influence microglia and subsequently affect metabolic homeostasis. Methods: We conducted experiments to examine the effects of high-fat ...

This was a mighty challenge. The cells kept dying. Paleontologist Kyoko Hagino of Kochi University tried for twelve years until she finally cracked it with a cousin of the original organism.

Multi-lineage assembloids incorporate diverse cell types—such as microglia or endothelial cells—to investigate tissue-tissue interactions, like the neuroimmune axis in neurodegenerative ...

Microglia are brain-resident macrophages playing pivotal roles in CNS development and homeostasis. Yet, the cellular and molecular basis governing microglia maintenance ...

Microglia, the brain's immune cells, can shift from protective roles to secreting inflammatory messengers like interleukin-12 (IL-12) as the brain ages, potentially accelerating Alzheimer's disease.
