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

In epithelial tissues, juxtaposition of cells of different phenotypes can trigger cell competition, a process whereby one type of cell drives death and extrusion of another. During growth and ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Myocardial reperfusion is the primary treatment for myocardial ischemia. Multiple modes of cell death, such as apoptosis, necroptosis, autophagy, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis, occur following ...

A team led by Stanford biologist Bo Wang and lead author Chew Chai has identified a previously unknown type of immune cell in ...

Senescent "zombie" cells are essential architects required to build and maintain the brain's protective barriers.

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