Cell signaling is crucial for cells to communicate and function correctly. Disruptions in these pathways, caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, ...
Embryonic development is one of the most dynamic biological processes in nature. Cells and tissues organize and reorganize ...
Within the past decade, biologists have discovered that one strategy cells use to keep their contents organized is a ...
Scientists find that close interactions between the mechanical properties of tissues and biochemical signalling between cells ...
A team led by Stanford biologist Bo Wang and lead author Chew Chai has identified a previously unknown type of immune cell in ...
Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC have developed a new type of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell that elicits a more controlled immune response to cancer in mice—effectively ...
Neural stem cells (NSCs) sit at the heart of brain development, lifelong neurogenesis, and the brain’s capacity to respond to injury and disease. Their fate ...
The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents flowing through our bodies. We’re used to thinking of the brain as an ...
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 ...
