The coordinated movement of cells drives essential processes like tissue development, immune response, and cancer invasion. Rather than relying on prepatterned cues, many cell populations navigate ...

Hospitalized older adults with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and sepsis exhibit impaired neutrophil function; however, glycolytic metabolism is not the driver of neutrophil dysfunction. This ...

Manganese oxide nanoparticles (Mn 3 O 4 NPs) were synthesized and modified with an LHRH-targeting peptide or anti-melanoma antibodies (cancer-targeting moieties), as well as an MMP2 cleavable peptide ...

This valuable study examines the effects of side-wall confinement on the chemotaxis of swimming bacteria in a shallow microfluidic channel. The authors present solid experimental evidence, combined ...

Background: Transplantation arteriosclerosis is one of the major complications for the mid- and long-term survival of recipients with organ transplantation. Although previous studies suggest that CD34 ...
