Living cells and tissues show a high capacity to absorb various chemical compounds from the surrounding environment. Although the absorption of small molecules is quite simple for cells and tissues, ...

Each cell is separated from its environment by a membrane that protects the cell from the outside environment. However, this barrier can be overcome by certain chemicals that sustain the basic ...

Aim: This study examines the absolute quantification of particle uptake into cells. Methods: We developed a novel method to analyze stacks of confocal fluorescence images of single cells interacting ...

A team of researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) reports that blocking an iron uptake receptor reduces disease pathology and promotes the activity of anti-inflammatory regulatory T ...
