The Director of Finance and Administration in the Department of Cell Biology and Physiology partners with the Chair to develop a strategic vision to lead the Department to stellar performance in all m...

Researchers are developing programmable immune strategies that allow T cells to resist exhaustion and sustain anti‑tumor responses. Tumors survive in part by sending “don’t attack me” signals to T cel...

Meet the scientists building tomorrow's medicine at Biohub.

A Carolina alumna and her former research mentors are developing wearable smart glasses that could one day support new insights into mental health.

Intrahepatic bile ducts (IHBDs) form a complex hierarchical network essential for liver function. The remodeling and expansion of this network during ductular reaction (DR) are hallmarks of liver dise...

It has remained mysterious for millennia, but we’re finally uncovering the profound role the lymphatic system plays in everything from preventing dementia to fighting cancer

The University of Alabama System Board of Trustees today unanimously appointed Peter J. Mohler, PhD, as the 30th president of The University of Alabama, the state’s flagship university.

The annual Phillip and Ruth Hettleman Prizes for Artistic and Scholarly Achievement have been awarded to five promising faculty members, including Alex Zhukhovitskiy in the department of chemistry. Ho...

The kidney vasculature has a complex arrangement, which runs in both series and parallel to perfuse the renal tissue and appropriately filter plasma. Recent studies have demonstrated that the developm...

This seminar will be held virtually over Zoom. Link below https://zoom.us/j/95576307638?pwd=g5UvTCuaaaoFpfmMimAM3F4Jq4ZAWz.1 About the speaker  Dr. Kendall Lough is a CGIBD Basic Science Fellow with a...

Trimming neuronal axons involves a distinct pathway and a rare pathogen-sensing immune protein that could have implications for Alzheimer’s disease. Neurons have the remarkable ability to kill parts o...

The program, created through The Graduate School and the Department of Cell Biology and Physiology, features hands-on research experience.

Pharma firms are developing drugs that avoid the brain’s opioid receptors to minimise the risks of dependence and overdoses, but not all experts are convinced

O’Brien will map the kidney nerve network from acute injury to chronic disease for the first time in a high-risk/high reward project. Sympathetic and sensory neurons innervate the kidney, with sympath...

Understanding the influence of blood vessels on liver recovery may be the first step in developing better treatments for liver injury and solving the problem of why some drugs fail in the pharmaceutic...

Health McCauley received a Junior Faculty Development Award to create a new humanized mouse model that more closely replicates complex immune cell dynamics in the gut.

Kang et al. present HCAD, a peripherally restricted DREADD based on HCA2, with a chemical actuator that avoids crossing the blood-brain barrier and selectively reduces pain in mice. This system will enable the study of peripheral physiology without affecting the central nervous system.

Sarah Cohen and two others will pioneer a method to view these molecular structures and their interactions in live stem cells.

Analgesia from the expectation of pain relief is mediated by rostral anterior cingulate cortex neurons that project to the pontine nucleus.

In this newsletter, explore scientific breakthroughs from researchers in the UNC Department of Cell Biology and Physiology, discover upcoming opportunities for collaboration and learning, and learn mo...
