A new research study led by A STAR.Singapore Immunology Network (A STAR.SIgN) has found that neutrophils-;one of the most abundant white blood cells in our body-;change drastically in certain cancers, adopting a new function whereby they promote tumour growth.
New study reveals a small molecule that can selectively mobilize white blood cells, offering potential treatments for diseases with abnormal leukocyte counts.
A Rutgers researcher, through his spinoff company, has led a team to design and test a device that quickly counts a person's white blood cells with a single drop of blood, similar to the way glucometers rapidly scan for blood sugar levels.
Scientists have solved a cellular murder mystery nearly 25 years after the case went cold. Following a trail of evidence from fruit flies to mice to humans revealed that cannibalistic cells likely cause a rare human immunodeficiency.
