The Arkansas Soybean Promotion Board approved $4,387,032.75 in funding for 96 research and promotion projects at its March 12–13 public meeting. The approved projects will support the growth and ...

This study provides important insights into how IL-1 cytokines protect cells against SARS-CoV-2 infection. By inducing a non-canonical RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway, IL-1beta inhibits the ability of ...

Bronchial epithelia are the primary target for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections. Here, we reconstituted bronchial epithelia from adult and child donors and show ...

Researchers have discovered a new phenomenon where sperm from mice can induce non-reproductive cells from hamsters to fuse and form a syncytia – a cell with multiple nuclei. The study, published today ...

A team of researchers has uncovered a previously unknown compensatory mechanism found in liver disease. If Kupffer cells (KCs), a specific kind of immune cells found in the liver, become impaired by ...

From a Distance (part of the “Fires of War” collection) by Susan Crile. When it comes to SARS-CoV-2 infection, our very own immune system can end up contributing to the damage. Inflammation, though an ...

Scientists have shown that the recycling program of cells, autophagy, leads to the fusion of several single cells into multinucleated cell units during wound healing. A team led by Maria Leptin has ...

A team led by Maria Leptin has shown in the fruit fly Drosophila that autophagy, a mechanism of stress responses in cells, plays an important role in wound healing: When a wound heals, the process of ...
