Understanding how cells transform into specialized types during human development is a central challenge in biology. This complex process, known as cell differentiation, holds the key to understanding ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified the cellular mechanisms that cause immune cells to differentiate and ultimately lose function during viral infection, findings that could improve ...

The Notch signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in determining cell fate, especially in the development and function of T cells. But mimicking this highly mechanical, contact-dependent pathway in the ...
