T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on ...

A) Taste tissue of wild-type mice and taste cell synaptic dysfunction mice (SNAP-cKO). In SNAP-cKO mice, the number of sour-sensing cells is reduced. B) Gustatory nerve responses to various taste ...

A tumor “don’t‑eat‑me” shield also hides pro‑immune danger signals; new antibodies that unmask this hidden cue could make cancers more vulnerable to immune attack.

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: When cells are about to die, they send signals that trigger proteins which are supposed to destroy them, but it doesn’t always happen that way. Some ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...

A newly developed single-cell metabolomics approach enabled researchers to measure the metabolites produced by individual ...
