Counterintuitively, cells move faster in thicker fluids. New research on breast cancer cells explains why, and reveals the role that fluid viscosity plays in metastasis.
Research reveals that T cell migration relies on ion and water influx for actin polymerization and movement, with the WNK1 kinase playing a critical role in regulating these processes, offering new insights into adaptive immunity.
Researchers have shown that a novel antibody generated to target an 'essential amino acid sequence' of both interleukin-17A and F has greater activity and potentially fewer side effects than existing biological therapies for conditions such as as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
