Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School have developed two powerful computational tools that could transform how researchers ...

Cell-to-cell communication is essential throughout all forms and stages of life, and many communication mechanisms are well ...

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 ...

When two cells "talk" to each other, they often do so through tiny channels called electrical synapses. Unlike chemical synapses, these so-called gap junctions enable the direct exchange of ...

A research team has succeeded in synthesizing simple, environmentally sensitive cells complete with artificial organelles. For the first time, the researchers have also been able to emulate natural ...

Gut support cells communicate with surprising precision – like brain neurons – using tiny extensions to send instructions to the stem cells responsible for maintaining and healing the intestine. The ...

A type of flatworms, called planarians, can regenerate whole organisms from pieces as small as one-279th of their body. 1 Depending on how these goofy-looking worms were cut, they could even come back ...

Cell-to-cell communication is essential throughout all forms and stages of life, and many communication mechanisms are well studied. However, over the past few years, scientists have found increasing ...
