Immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer care by training the immune system to detect and destroy tumors. For many patients, ...

Neutrophils are the most abundant immune cells in the body and the first to respond to infection or tissue damage. Yet ...

Known for their role in allergic reactions, mast cells have long been recognised as key players in our immune system. When they encounter allergens, they release chemicals that trigger typical allergy ...

This scanning electron microscopy image captures the moment where degranulating mast cells (pseudo-colored in sepia) attract and start to incorporate living neutrophils (pseudo-colored in cyan), ...

NeuMap, the first single‑cell atlas of neutrophils, reveals conserved functional hubs across health, infection, and cancer, reshaping immunity.

The course of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infections depends not only on how aggressive the virus is, but also on the immune response of the infected individual. Using single-cell analyses, a group of ...

The role of RNAs keeps growing and growing. New research shows that cell surface RNAs are critical in neutrophil recruitment to inflammatory sites. These “glycoRNAs” on the cell surface of neutrophils ...

RNA is thought to be a stay-at-home kind of molecule, often comfortably confined within the cell’s interior. So, when RNA molecules were detected on the surface of several cell types, researchers ...
