Natural killer (NK) cells are the bodyguards of our immune system. As a first line of defense, they destroy invading pathogens, foreign bodies, and infected cells in early stages, thereby preventing ...

The Rust programming language continues to tally up wins against the venerable, yet still very popular, C and C++ languages. While technology firms and the US government have pushed software ...

We owe a lot to tissue resident memory T cells (T RM). These specialized immune cells are among the body's first responders to disease. Rather than coursing through the bloodstream-as many T cells ...

Before Alison Conklin received a heart transplant in 2022, she didn’t shy away from meat in her diet. She ate chicken and poultry all the time, and her all-time favorite meal was Thanksgiving dinner.

Cells change shape to move efficiently in a range of spatial environments. This response can be informed by the cell’s memory of past deformation. Read the paper: The actin cortex acts as a mechanical ...

Cedars-Sinai researchers created “young” immune cells from human stem cells that reversed cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s symptoms in mice. The treated animals showed better memory and healthier ...

In popular media, “AI” usually means large language models running in expensive, power-hungry data centers. For many applications, though, smaller models running on local hardware are a much better ...

The more we move, the more our muscle cells begin to make a memory of that exercise. MIT Technology Review Explains: Let our writers untangle the complex, messy world of technology to help you ...

Vertical scaling is vital to increasing the storage density of 3D NAND. According to imec, airgap integration and charge trap layer separation are the keys to unlocking it. Inside the charge trap cell ...

Findings from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital demonstrate that virtual memory T cells, a specialized group of immune cells, provide nonspecific immunity for infants early in life. The work stems ...

A small but enthusiastic group of neuroscientists is exhuming overlooked experiments and performing new ones to explore whether cells record past experiences — fundamentally challenging what memory is ...
