A study provides insights into the diversity of cancer-associated fibroblasts in white and black skin cancer and describes their different immunomodulatory roles in the tumor environment. The results ...

Scientists have uncovered a hidden partnership between pancreatic cancer and the nervous system. Support cells in the ...

Three-dimensional imaging has revealed that nerve fibres actively collaborate with tumour-associated fibroblasts at the earliest stages of pancreatic cancer, creating a self-reinforcing ...

In a significant breakthrough in inflammatory arthritis research, a study published today (Feb. 23) in Nature Immunology has revealed that inflammation-associated fibroblasts—a type of cell in ...

The central nervous system (CNS) consists of several types of cells having varied specialized functions. While many of these cell types have been studied, fibroblast cells in the CNS remain ...

Scientists have mapped underappreciated scaffolding cells in skin, known as fibroblasts. They show for the first time how fibroblasts go 'rogue' in many different diseases affecting multiple organs – ...

Not too long ago the idea of taking, for instance a skin cell and transforming it into a muscle cell was unthinkable. About 10 years ago, however, revolutionary research showed that it is indeed ...

Researchers found that nerves and cancer-supporting cells team up early to drive pancreatic cancer—breaking that alliance ...

The use of immune-modulating fibroblasts, which are cultured under specific conditions to enhance their ability to suppress inflammation and address the root cause of cachexia and associated ...
