T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on exquisitely timed molecular signals. Now researchers have captured one of the ...

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 ...

Cells behave like cities and organelles carry out infrastructural roles: Mitochondria are powerhouses, the endoplasmic reticulum serves as a transport ...

Until now, conventional 3D cell cultures have often been either too rigid or too unstable to realistically reproduce the ...

Messenger RNA can travel between different types of stem cells through tunnel-like structures, as revealed by a new study. By studying interactions between mouse and human stem cells, they discovered ...

Colorectal cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide, largely due to metastasis and ...

Pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages involved in immune responses accelerate the progression of melanoma through the extracellular vesicles they secrete, a recent study from the University of Eastern ...

Background High serum levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6) predict poor prognosis in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA), a malignancy that often develops in a chronically inflamed milieu . Here, tumour ...

Researchers have uncovered a surprising molecular chain reaction in the brain that may play a role in some forms of autism.
