Death ends the body’s ability to function as a whole, but it does not kill every cell at the same instant. Research has shown that some human cells remain viable for hours or even days after death, ...

VIB researchers have developed a new human stem-cell-based model that recreates an early stage of immune-cell development and ...

Our immune system relies on T cells to fight infections. But T cells don't just show up and react—first, they train, get a game plan, and coordinate their defenses in lymphoid organs. Researchers have ...
