Scaling down single-cell reactions to the nanoliter level is critical to minimize the risk of contamination, increase reaction efficiency, and reduce costs. Researchers from the Single-cell Center of ...

Belgian scientists have uncovered new details about how the immune system responds to vaccines. Dendritic cells, which are key immune messengers that help kick-start the body's defenses, show specific ...

Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a T-cell–mediated severe cutaneous adverse reaction characterized by rash, fever, internal organ involvement, and systemic ...

The interaction between mast cells and other immune cells at sites of allergic responses has been largely unexplored. A research group at the MPI of Immunobiology and Epigenetics used specialized ...

Artificial cells created in the laboratory offer a wide range of potential applications. Until now, however, their membranes—unlike those of real cells—have been virtually impermeable. Researchers at ...
