“You could see little parts of the human cell being broken off,” Ralston said of her very first encounter with the parasite.

The single-celled parasite Entamoeba histolytica infects 50 million people each year, killing nearly 70,000. Usually, this ...

When two organisms live together so closely that they merge into a functional unit, this is known as symbiosis. In the "1+1=1" project, an international, interdisciplinary research team is ...

Influenza viruses are among the most likely triggers of future pandemics. A research team from the Helmholtz Center for Infection Research (HZI) and the Medical Center—University of Freiburg has ...

The device works by directing a focused laser beam to stimulate cells beneath the skin that have been fluorescently labeled. Such labeling can be accomplished with a number of methods, including ...

This is because of cells that detach from the original tumor and hide in a dormant state in the breast or other organs. From the earliest stage of embryonic development, through sexual maturation ...

To address these challenges, we present an optimized workflow that integrates high-purity label-free CTC capture with in-droplet barcoding-based scRNA-seq to achieve higher cell utilization and lower ...

Methods: We performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on cells derived from metastatic tumor draining lymph nodes and tumor tissue of four breast cancer patients exhibiting either sensitivity ...

the patterns are difficult to discern and many cells show no specific mid-cell labeling. When visible, the labeled area extends during the chase, as described above for the ΔtacL strain. Although the ...
