Eosinophils, as cells of the innate immune system and sources of diverse cytokines, function in diverse tissue sites, some previously unappreciated, in health and disease. At least in human ...

Tissue and cell-type identity lie at the core of human physiology and disease. Understanding the genetic underpinnings of complex tissues and individual cell lineages is crucial for developing ...

The increased deposition of connective tissue is a problem in chronic diseases of many organs such as the lungs (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis), liver (cirrhosis), kidneys (kidney fibrosis), gut ...

Connective tissue diseases can be genetic or autoimmune. Symptoms may vary by disease and can include pain and fatigue. Each disease has its own treatment options. Connective tissue holds the cells of ...

The use of ciprofloxacin and other antibiotics of the class of fluoroquinolones may be associated with disruption of the normal functions of connective tissue, including tendon rupture, tendonitis and ...

Bioengineers have created miniature intestines in a dish that match up anatomically and functionally to the real thing better than any other lab-grown tissue models. The biological complexity and ...

Capillaries are very tiny blood vessels — so small that a single red blood cell can barely fit through them. They help to connect your arteries and veins in addition to facilitating the exchange of ...
