Biological systems are collections of discrete molecular objects that move around and
collide with each other. Cells carry out elaborate processes by precisely controlling these …

Mast cells are known to be the central effector cells in the early phase and important in the
late phase of IgE-mediated allergic inflammatory reactions [1]. Mast cells can be activated to …

Animals in the wild are able to subsist on pathogen-infected and poisonous food and show
immunity to various diseases. These may be due to their microbiota, yet we have a poor …

We describe an autonomous DNA nanorobot capable of transporting molecular payloads to
cells, sensing cell surface inputs for conditional, triggered activation, and reconfiguring its …

The adaptive immune system confers protection by generating a diverse repertoire of antibody
receptors that are rapidly expanded and contracted in response to specific targets. Next-…

Allergic, inflammatory, and immune responses carried out by eosinophils are regulated by
the cross talk between activatory and inhibitory signals. While much data has been obtained …

We report a new type of brain-machine interface enabling a human operator to control
nanometer-size robots inside a living animal by brain activity. Recorded EEG patterns are …

Mast cells are currently recognized as effector cells in many settings beyond just allergic
reactions, including innate immunity, autoimmunity, chronic inflammatory disorders and …

Long noncoding RNA molecules (lncRNAs) are estimated to account for the majority of
eukaryotic genomic transcripts, and have been associated with multiple diseases in humans. …

Insect pests such as termites cause damages to crops and man-made structures estimated
at over $30 billion per year, imposing a global challenge for the human economy. Here, we …
