Cell-to-cell communication is essential throughout all forms and stages of life, and many communication mechanisms are well studied. However, over the past few years, scientists have found increasing ...

Our understanding of how cells interact with each other has been driven for decades by the central concept of ...

These communication signals allow cells to regulate the plant's growth and development, including the patterning of stomata—pores on the leaf surface through which gases and water vapor are exchanged.

As an embryo develops from a small cluster of stem cells, those once "blank slate" cells begin to take on more specialized roles like brain, liver or muscle cells and organize themselves into ...

Understanding how the brain works requires more than studying single regions in isolation. The cerebral cortex depends on long-distance connections that link specialized areas into coordinated ...

A multidisciplinary team has used advanced imaging and computational modeling to analyze the "crosstalk" between neurons and their supporting glial cells in the human brain. This approach highlights ...

Announcing a new article publication for BIO Integration. Myocardial infarction (MI) is characterized by extensive immune activation and dynamic remodeling of the cardiac microenvironment, in which ...

Cornell researchers have used artificial intelligence to uncover a previously unknown way cells control how proteins move inside them, a process essential for growth, communication and movement that ...

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 ...

Gastric cancer remains one of the world’s most lethal malignancies, and clinicians have long struggled to explain why patients with seemingly similar tumors can follow dramatically different c ...
