The distinct population of endothelial cells that line blood vessels in the insulin-producing "islets" of the human pancreas have been notoriously difficult to study, but Weill Cornell Medicine ...

Mitochondrial defects, however, are associated with the development of diseases such as type 2 diabetes. Patients who suffer from this disorder are unable to produce enough insulin or use the insulin ...

Feb. 4, 2025 — Research has shown that a potential new targeted therapy for childhood brain cancer is effective in infiltrating and killing tumor cells in preclinical models tested in mice.

Cancer stem cells are rare immortal cells within a tumour that can both self-renew by dividing and give rise to many cell types that constitute the tumour, and can therefore form tumours.

Cell biology is the discipline of biological sciences that studies the structure, physiology, growth, reproduction and death of cells. Research in cell biology uses microscopic and molecular tools ...

Many cells in multicellular organisms are specialised. They have specific roles in the organism of which they are part. Their structure is adapted to their function. They are often grouped ...

This had never happened before. There is a remarkable story behind these cells; it's more than half a century old, but still relevant and current. Dr Maninder Ahluwalia, senior lecturer in ...

Jan. 23, 2025 — There's a downside to being a powerful alpha male -- at least if you're a baboon. Studies show that despite their high rank, the No. 1 males in baboon society are also some of ...

Homeostasis may be restored by self-repair, for example, via processes such as proliferation of affected cells or angiogenesis to create new vasculature. Transient or sustained BBB dysfunction may ...

Thus, the combined evaluation of FR and FT is of fundamental importance in the management of hemodynamically unstable patients because the absence of FT, even in a fluid responsive patient, can ...
