Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the head and neck originates from the mucosal lining of the upper aerodigestive tract, including the lip, tongue, nasopharynx, oropharynx, larynx and hypopharynx. In ...

For example, bacteria have a rigid cell wall, whereas human cells are surrounded only by a simple membrane. If a pharmaceutical agent targets cell wall construction, only bacterial cells are affected.

The team have shown that their nanostructured surfaces resist the growth of bacteria, but enable the culturing of cells. Credit: Tokyo Metropolitan University New nanostructured alumina surfaces offer ...

Introduction: Primary cilia play an important role in the development of cancer by regulating signaling pathways. Several studies have demonstrated that women with BRCA mutations have, on average, 50% ...

This arrangement can help them capture bacterial prey with extra efficiency, especially if every cell coordinates its efforts. Prior analyses hint that improved feeding was a key perk of early ...

Abstract: Cilia are microscopic finger-like cell-surface organelles possessed by a great many eukaryotic organisms, including humans, whose purposes include generating local fluid movements via ...

Bacteria are organisms that consist of a single cell without a nucleus and with distinct structural, physiological and evolutionary characteristics. Bacteria form one of the three domains of life ...

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created nanostructured alumina surfaces which are strongly antibacterial but can be used to culture cells. They found that anodic ...

A plant-based diet can improve health and prevent disease by feeding the good bacteria in your digestive tract. Trillions of bacteria live in your digestive tract and play an important role in health.

Researchers have developed so-called microbial cell factories -- using E. coli and ... Gene-Edited Soil Bacteria Could Provide Third Source of Nitrogen for Corn Production Jan. 16, 2025 — If ...
