In recent years, scientific studies have revealed that mucosal mast cells (MMCs), which are immune cells that arise from bone marrow, are excessively produced and play a key role in the severity ...

Researchers in Japan have successfully generated lung cells similar to alveolar epithelial type 2 (AT2) cells from mouse embryonic fibroblasts without using stem cell technology. The AT2-like ...

Rare lung cells trigger rapid repair after smoke or virus exposure in mice—a similar pathway may exist in humans by Stanford University Medical Center ...

Cells taken from the lungs of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have a larger accumulation of soot-like carbon deposits compared to cells taken from people who smoke but do ...

About Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor X2 MRGPRX2 is a G-Protein-Coupled-Receptor (GPCR) found predominantly on mast cells and peripheral sensory neurons. Mast cells are critical regulators of ...

They found that damaged basal cells grew in the airways, and transitional cells that express another gene called Krt13, also become overly abundant, while the levels of another cell type drop. This ...

Discover 8 ways mast cell activation syndrome causes widespread symptoms from digestive issues to brain fog, often mistaken for other conditions.

Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to every other organ, and blood-forming stem cells must make about 200 billion new red blood cells each day to keep the oxygen flowing.

Researchers have found that some particularly aggressive lung cancer cells can develop their own electric network, like that seen in the body's nervous system.
