Automated cell counting in body fluids is revolutionising diagnostic pathways by replacing traditional manual methods with robust, high-throughput platforms. This approach enhances accuracy and ...

These images use color markers—blue for nuclei, red for cell membranes, and green for fluid—to show that spaces between cells shrink as fluid moves out during tissue compression, from left to right ...

A recent study has shown that the shape of cell-derived nanoparticles, known as 'extracellular vesicles' (EVs), in body fluids could be a biomarker for identifying types of cancer. In the study, ...

As a fetus develops, its body is bathed in amniotic fluid: a warm, salty soup of nutrients, hormones, and antibodies produced by its mother. And into that fluid, a fetus is constantly sloughing off or ...

A type of immune cell targeting the Epstein-Barr virus may play a key role in driving multiple sclerosis (MS), a study found.

Based on cells’ ability to respond to physical stimuli, a team of researchers hypothesized that extracellular fluid viscosity (which varies under physiological and pathological conditions, such as ...

Scientists have discovered why ovarian cancer spreads so rapidly through the abdomen. Cancer cells enlist normally protective abdominal cells, forming mixed groups that work together to invade new ...

A new study reveals a hidden brain defense: base barrier cells. These cells form a molecular seal in the choroid plexus, acting as a gatekeeper against systemic inflammation and potential ...

The cells that make up the walls of the finest of all lymphatic vessels have a lobate, oak leaf-like shape that makes them particularly resilient to changes in fluid volume. A similar cell shape also ...
