The odor receptors in the nose are not distributed at random but organized in a precise spatial pattern, two new studies ...

This review examines how CAR-T cell therapy is expanding beyond blood cancers into solid tumors, autoimmune diseases, chronic ...

Scientists at École Polytechnique Fédérale Lausanne (EPFL), and at UNIL-CHUV, University Hospital Lausanne (CHUV) and University of Lausanne (UNIL) have developed a computational method to create ...

Cells are enveloped by a lipid membrane that gives them structure and provides a barrier between the cell and its environment ...

Cancer cells can disarm the immune system not just by hiding from it, but by actively reprogramming nearby immune cells into a suppressed state. This previously unrecognized molecular interaction, ...

Scientists have created the first detailed map of smell receptors in the nose, catching up with similar achievements in sight ...

Scientists have developed a way to turn the body's own immune cells into cancer-fighting agents—without removing them from ...

This figure illustrates the odor sensor function of Pv11-00443-Or47a cell line. When pentyl acetate binds specifically to the olfactory receptor Or47a, the channel formed by Or47a and co-receptor Orco ...

Dendritic cell receptors, in particular C‐type lectins such as DC-SIGN, play a pivotal role in the immune response by recognising and internalising diverse glycan structures present on pathogens. The ...

Blockbuster anti-obesity drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy have become household names in the past few years. They work by activating the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) to stimulate insulin ...

New research reveals that hundreds of smell receptors in the nose are "highly organized" into tight bands based on type.
