Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids but cannot simply accumulate inside the cell forever. Once they have done their ...

A team of scientists at Kyoto University's Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS) has created a protein-based therapeutic tool that could change the way we treat diseases caused by ...

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 ...

A tiny microfluidic device can improve cell therapy techniques for spinal cord injury patients. The device can remove a large percentage of stem cells that have not yet fully become spinal cord cells, ...

The mystery surrounding the targeted removal of red blood cells from the human body is at the center of new Griffith University research. Research Fellow Dr. Lennart Kuck from Griffith's School of ...

In neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, proteins accumulate in the body's cells, fold incorrectly and clump together to form larger aggregates. Normally, cells are able to ...
