Changes in DNA packaging help immune cells swell and burst

Immune cells are the elite athletes of the human body. While other cells stay in place, immune cells travel throughout our bodies, squeezing through small channels, stretching themselves, sampling the surfaces of other cells and swallowing up invaders.

Brain cells regulate cholesterol to control neuron signaling

Cholesterol, a fat-like substance in the body best known for its role in cardiovascular health, also plays a key role in how neurons—foundational cells for the brain's ability to process and integrate information—communicate with one another.
