Engineered BiTE molecule draws T cells to eliminate FAP+ modulated smooth muscle cells, reducing plaque burden across mouse atherosclerosis models.

Scientists have designed an immunotherapy that reduces plaque in the arteries of mice, presenting a possible new treatment strategy against heart disease. The antibody-based therapy could complement ...

Cardiologists have spent decades trying to stabilize the fatty plaques that clog arteries, but a new wave of immunotherapy is ...

- Muscle cells, also known as myocytes, are specialized cells designed for contraction and force production. Skeletal Muscle Cells: These cells are long, cylindrical, and have a striated (or striped) ...

Neurons intertwine with small blood vessels in the brain, but how do the two communicate? With elaborate three-dimensional reconstructions of electron microscopy images, scientists led by Jie-Min Jia, ...

Engineers developed a method to grow artificial muscle tissue that twitches and flexes in multiple, coordinated directions. These tissues could be useful for building 'biohybrid' robots powered by ...
