How Immune Cells Move Against Invaders
UCSF scientists have discovered the unexpected way in which a key cell of the immune system prepares for battle. The finding, they said, offers insight into the processes that take place within these cells and could lead to strategies for treating conditions from spinal cord injury to cancer. The research focused on the neutrophil, the most common type of white blood cell...
Cell-based technologies for medicine
Stem cells are able to migrate into tissue lesions and differentiate there into those cells which are required for effective tissue regeneration. As a matter of fact, stem cell-based technologies enable to replace the complicated surgery on organ transplantation by the cell grafting, an ambulatory procedure with an equivalent potential.
