In vivo perturbations and single-cell RNA-seq reveal cell-type-specific STAT1-IFNg signaling in regulation of trained immunity in tissue-resident immune cells.

Your spleen is a busy organ that primarily stores and filters blood. It removes cellular waste and gets rid of old or damaged ...

But its main job is to act like a filter for your blood. Healthy blood cells flow through the spleen no problem. Bada-bing, bada-boom. But the damaged and dead cells get caught in a series of ...

Those infected cells flow through the spleen, which culls them out because of their sickle shape -- and the parasite is eliminated along with them. Scientists believe the sickle cell gene appeared ...

How Divers Get a Boost in Red Blood Cells Most relevant here is that your spleen stores an extra reserve of oxygen-carrying red blood cells. When you dive, your spleen contracts, squeezing these ...

The bigger spleen makes more oxygen available in their blood for diving. The researchers have published their results in the academic journal Cell. Located close to the stomach, the fist-sized ...

When the vagus nerve receives electrical stimulation, it activates immune cells in the spleen. These activated cells then prompt platelets to become more responsive to potential injuries ...

The cells, known as chemically-induced liver progenitors (CLiPs), can be transplanted back into the rodent’s liver via the portal vein or the spleen. The cells show characteristic liver-specific ...

The spleen is a fist-sized organ located in the upper left abdomen. As part of the lymphatic system, it helps filter blood and eliminate old blood cells. It also produces lymphocytes, which are white ...
