Cells constantly probe their environments, searching for physical cues that guide their behavior. And yet a cell's response ...
Scientists have discovered how cells decide when to respond to physical forces, potentially opening new avenues for tackling diseases such as cancer and fibrosis.
A) Taste tissue of wild-type mice and taste cell synaptic dysfunction mice (SNAP-cKO). In SNAP-cKO mice, the number of sour-sensing cells is reduced. B) Gustatory nerve responses to various taste ...
Patterns of fat metabolism in fibroblasts surrounding the tumor cells direct whether epithelial cancer cells become more ...
Cancer and Alzheimer’s disease rarely strike the same person, a pattern that has puzzled clinicians for years. Instead of being an odd statistical quirk, new work suggests that tumors might actively ...
Left: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) micropatterned on a Gaussian gradient and stained with antibodies for CD81 as red, CD63 as green, and CD9 as blue. Right: EVs micropatterned as the Nazca hummingbird ...
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 ...
Researchers uncover how mutant lung cells reshape surrounding tissue through signaling loops with fibroblasts and immune ...
