B-cell maturation antigen, or BCMA, is selectively expressed when plasma cells differentiate. It is almost absent on memory and naive B cells. The maintenance of long-lived plasma cells involves ...

Anti-CD20 mAbs were originally created to treat B cell proliferative diseases such as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and chronic ...

Our biceps and our brain cells may have more in common than previously thought ... a protein known to be important in memory.

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

A plasma cell develops from an immune system ... and determined that their antibody repertoires matched those of memory B cells in the peripheral blood." Prior to the research by Prabhakaran ...

BCMA is preferentially expressed on plasma cells and other mature B cells ... and still maintain populations of memory B cells and B cell progenitors that allow for a functioning humoral immune ...

A team from Osaka University has developed scSPOT, a new technique that reveals how immune cells called Tregs simultaneously ...

Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike ...

The study involved simulations and experiments conducted by scientists at Lam Research, the University of Colorado Boulder and the U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory ...

The narrow, deep holes required for this type of memory can be etched twice as fast with the right plasma and other key ... saves information in units called cells. Data is saved as the cell's ...
