The cells lining skin capillaries are constantly sending each other messages—tiny pulses of calcium that help regulate blood ...

An international research group has combined advanced single-cell technologies with studies in lung organoids to map the development of early human lung immune cells over time. Their results, which ...

Working memory (WM) is essential for performing cognitive tasks, and sequentially active hippocampal cells over many seconds (‘time cells’) have been observed during WM retention. Time cells ...

Cells can spontaneously change shape even without external signals, but the underlying mechanisms behind this form of ...

Polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCCs), characterized by enlarged or multiple nuclei, have long been considered non-proliferative and hallmarks of high malignancy. However, their functional contribution ...

Schematic of an active cell membrane. In a typical active biological process, active proteins (shown in a variety of colors) in a cell membrane (shown in blue) interact with various biological ...

With the power of self-renewal and multipotency, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) offer the possibility of regenerative treatment for a variety of medical conditions, including spinal cord injury and ...

Scientists have discovered a way to stop active cancer cells in their tracks—meaning they can then be eliminated by new drug treatments. A collaborative research project between the University of ...

Researchers at Virginia Tech's Fralin Biomedical Research Institute find activity in more easily accessible Purkinje cells in ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Pools of stem cells in the apical meristems of plants are key to continued growth and development. Understanding how these stem cells are maintained and balanced against ...
