Automated cell analysis in biological fluids encompasses technologies for rapid quantification and characterisation of cells in specimens such as cerebrospinal, pleural, peritoneal and synovial fluids ...

As you read this sentence, trillions of cells are moving around in your body. From the red blood cells being pumped by your heart, to the immune cells racing across your lymphatic system, everything ...

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 ...

Among the body's most crucial protective features are the brain barrier systems, including the blood-brain and blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barriers. These barriers are made of highly specialized ...

Scientists have created miniorgans from cells floating in the fluid that surrounds a fetus in the womb – an advance they believe could open up new areas of prenatal medicine. Miniorgans, or “ ...

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 ...

Senescent "zombie" cells are essential architects required to build and maintain the brain's protective barriers.

Scientists at Oregon Health and Science University have discovered that cells generate steady internal fluid currents, dubbed “cytoplasmic tradewinds,” that actively push proteins toward the leading ...

Amniotic fluid is chock full of dead cells. And although the cells, which are shed from the developing fetus, have been used in prenatal diagnostics for over four decades, the composition of the tiny ...
