A new study generated one of the most comprehensive spatially resolved transcriptomic maps of cellular communication between ...

The cells lining skin capillaries are constantly sending each other messages—tiny pulses of calcium that help regulate blood ...

Summary: Researchers compiled emerging evidence to prove that astrocytes, traditionally dismissed as passive, structural ...

New simulator and computational tools generate realistic ‘virtual tissues’ and map cell-to-cell ‘conversations’ from spatial transcriptomics data, potentially accelerating AI-driven discoveries in ...

New stem cell-based embryo model reveals previously unknown communication between early tissues that become the spine and muscles in the central part of the body. From the moment an embryo starts to ...

T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on exquisitely timed molecular signals. Now researchers have captured one of the ...

Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, yet once damaged, it cannot regenerate naturally. To overcome this ...

Cornell researchers have uncovered a built-in molecular "gate" that controls the production of the molecule nitric oxide, a crucial signaling molecule throughout biology that in humans helps regulate ...

Peptide research has expanded dramatically as investigators continue to explore short amino acid chains that participate in ...

A 3D rendering showing the internal structure of an animal cell, with several round or wavy structures inside a border. It turns out that the redox state of a cell, such as the animal cell shown, is ...
