A scientific review highlights how antigen-presenting cells shape cancer immunotherapy responses while detailing tumor ...
Cell spacing is also critical to tissue function, so this geometry is precisely regulated. To preserve proper tissue ...
A preclinical study shows that pancreatic stellate cell-derived FGF9 promotes pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cell ...
Most cell signals are chemical in nature. For example, prokaryotic organisms have sensors that detect nutrients and help them navigate toward food sources. In multicellular organisms, growth factors, ...
The fate of each cell—what type of specialized cell it will become—depends on which genes are turned on or off in the cell. These patterns of gene activity shape the cell's structure and function, ...
This is a confocal section of an embryo where in one half (right; cells with cyan nuclei), adhesion is decreased by using an optogenetic tool. The left half is epithelialised with tricellular contacts ...
How does a single cell build a brain with billions of precisely organized neurons? Researchers suggest that brain cells use their lineage—their cellular family tree—as a kind of positional map. Cells ...
Scientists from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in the United States have discovered how blood cells ...
Scientists have discovered that lysosomes, structures traditionally viewed as the cell's recycling centers, also play a role ...
