Embryonic development is one of the most dynamic biological processes in nature. Cells and tissues organize and reorganize ...

Cell signaling is crucial for cells to communicate and function correctly. Disruptions in these pathways, caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, ...

Scientists find that close interactions between the mechanical properties of tissues and biochemical signalling between cells ...

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 ...

Phosphoinositides are phosphorylated derivatives of phosphatidylinositol that reside at the cytosolic leaflet of cellular membranes and act as pivotal signalling molecules in plant cells. Through the ...

Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC have developed a new type of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell that elicits a more controlled immune response to cancer in mice—effectively ...

The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents flowing through our bodies. We’re used to thinking of the brain as an ...
