In the lungs, the virus enters a type of white blood cell called alveolar macrophages ... which have been hit particularly hard by the avian influenza outbreak. The semaglutide shortage has ...

Researchers racing to develop bird flu vaccines for humans have turned to a cutting-edge technology that enabled the rapid ...

Our blood consists of many cell types that develop through different stages from a precursor type -- the blood stem cell. An international research team has now investigated the developmental pathways ...

Imagine bacteria adhering to the surface of a cell, perhaps at the site of an injury or wound. In response, a white blood cell arrives at the scene. This cell encircles the pathogen with its membrane, ...

Very few humans have gone up against bird flu. But we've all dealt with seasonal flu for years. Some of our immune systems ...

An international group of researchers has identified an important mechanism that enables stem cells to evade immune rejection ...

Islets, found in the pancreas, are clusters of insulin-secreting and other cells enmeshed in tiny, specialized blood vessels. The insulin cells are killed by an autoimmune process in type 1 ...

Amée Markwardt becomes White Bird Clinic’s interim executive director, the first woman to hold the role. The clinic faces financial challenges, with key programs like CAHOOTS at risk.

The white islet, revealed by insulin staining, is vascularized by green blood vessels derived from co-transplanted R-VECs, which are connected to host blood vessels (red). Credit: Dr. Ge Li ...

a CAR T-cell therapy for the treatment of a type of blood cancer called multiple myeloma. CAR T-cell therapies work by collecting white blood cells from a patient, genetically modifying them to ...

Human protection against bird flu may be easier than previously thought, thanks to new findings about the genetic makeup of the virus and one particular immune cell that all of us have.
