People communicate with each other, sometimes face to face, sometimes with a text message or phone call. Cells also ...

Biophysicist Susy Kohout explores how cells respond to electrical cues, shedding light on the connection between cell ...

Microtubules, part of heart muscle cells' internal "skeleton," help determine how the heart changes shape under stress, and a ...

We owe a lot to tissue resident memory T cells (T RM). These specialized immune cells are among the body's first responders to disease. Rather than coursing through the bloodstream-as many T cells ...

Embryonic development is one of the most dynamic biological processes in nature. Cells and tissues organize and reorganize ...

For the first time, scientists have succeeded in artificially mimicking the ion signaling of heart muscle cells. To succeed, researchers at LiU have used organic electronics based on conductive ...

A new study shows how an anticancer drug triggers an 'outside in' signal that gets it sucked into a cancer cell. The work reveals a new signaling mechanism that could be exploited for delivering other ...

Researchers enclosed the cells within tiny alginate hydrogel capsules and embedded them inside a flexible, biocompatible ...

The distinct aging rates of neural progenitor cells and Wnt signaling dictate mammalian cortical layer proportions.
