Young vegetables known as microgreens are reputed to be particularly good for health. Now, researchers are trying to find out if microgreens are the superfood they’re claimed to be, and how they compare to mature veggies.

New research has identified the genes and molecular mechanisms behind the production and secretion of immunoglobulin G, which could help advance antibody-based therapy manufacturing.

Follicular helper T cells, or Tfh cells, have a crucial role in immune defense. Without Tfh cells, B cells cannot form germinal center, or GC, responses during which high-affinity antibodies are generated.

An AI system has been developed that can recognize and characterize white and red blood cells, helping physicians to diagnose blood disorders.

Forensic researchers have made headlines for decades in their discoveries of what happens to human bodies after death.

The chemicals secreted by maize roots have been shown to increase the yields of wheat planted subsequently by more than four percent.

At this year’s American Chemical Society fall meeting, researchers from Professor Graham Peaslee’s laboratory at the University of Notre Dame present new evidence that some menstrual products contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS. Based on the high concentrations of fluorine in some products, the researchers suggest their use is intentional by manufacturers.

Immune cells in the brains of people who had Alzheimer’s disease appear to behave differently than those who had healthy brains for their age, according to an analysis of the cells’ gene activity.

Microscopic plastic particles have been found in the fats and lungs of two-thirds of the marine mammals in a study of ocean microplastics, suggesting that microplastics can travel out of the digestive tract and lodge in the tissues.

A study has identified a new pathway that human immune deficiency virus (HIV) uses to enter the nucleus of a healthy cell, where it can then replicate and go on to invade other cells.
