One hundred years ago, Alexander Gurwitsch dared to propose that living cells emit faint ultraviolet light, invisible to the naked eye, to communicate with and stimulate one another. It was an idea so ...

Scientists at Houston Methodist have developed an artificial intelligence platform that can decode how cells communicate ...

A team led by Simon Haas has developed a technology to decode how immune cells talk to each other – revealing how our bodies respond to infections, how miscommunication can trigger autoimmune diseases ...

Cells behave like cities and organelles carry out infrastructural roles: mitochondria are powerhouses, the endoplasmic reticulum serves as a transport hub and lysosomes help with waste disposal.

Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, demonstrates a novel approach for nanoscopic profiling of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) using high-speed atomic force microscopy ...

It’s no secret that teenagers love snacks, whether salty or sweet. At West Mesquite High School, AP biology teacher Melinda Evans is using that love of snacks to help her students understand how cells ...

To decide whether and where to move in the body, cells must read chemical signals in their environment. Individual cells do not act alone during this process, two new studies on mouse mammary tissue ...

Adaptability may be the defining characteristic of our species — not our large brains, our long legs, or our ability to make tools, but our ability to rapidly learn new skills and behaviours in ...

A new comprehensive atlas of cells fills gaps in knowledge on how different cells in the intestine act together to drive celiac disease, potentially opening new avenues for future therapeutic ...

Concept of the oil-sealed, RGD-modified alginate hydrogel microwell array. The system enables the collection of EVPs secreted by single cells by culturing them in oil-sealed microwells. Single-cell ...
