As epithelial cells polarize in the tissue plane, the Planar Cell Polarity (PCP) signaling module segregates two distinct molecular subcomplexes to opposite sides of cells. Homodimers of the atypical ...
Imagine a world in which engineered cells, plants, tissues and nonliving yet biologically active entities are integrated into our everyday lives and have critical roles in solving grand challenges in ...
The body's organs are in constant communication. Fat tissue tells the liver when to store or release energy, the immune ...
People communicate with each other, sometimes face to face, sometimes with a text message or phone call. Cells also communicate with each other, sometimes by touching and sometimes by sending signals ...
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 ...
When two cells "talk" to each other, they often do so through tiny channels called electrical synapses. Unlike chemical synapses, these so-called gap junctions enable the direct exchange of ...
One of the most important mechanisms is receptor-mediated signaling. A peptide attaches to a specific receptor on the cell surface, which then activates intracellular proteins such as kinases or ...
An interdisciplinary team of scientists has developed a technology to decode immune cell communication. By measuring interactions between cells, the method offers insights into how the human body ...
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 ...
