New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

All three were hooked up to machines that provided a readout of their vital signs, and all three were prepared to have a ...

The fatty membrane surrounding every living cell is a vibrant environment where countless biological processes take place.

Plants droop and shed their leaves when parched, but with a splash of water, their stems regain strength and their leaves ...

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...

Jan. 31, 2025 — Prolonged illnesses like cancer and chronic infections often leave the immune system in a state of exhaustion, where its frontline defenders -- T cells -- lose their ability to ...

Bone-marrow-derived multipotent progenitor stromal cells — or mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) — are the common predecessors of cells of the mesenchymal lineage, such as bone, cartilage and fat ...

Natural killer (NK) cells are the predominant innate lymphocyte subsets that mediate anti-tumor and anti-viral responses, and therefore possess promising clinical utilization. NK cells do not express ...

Bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs), identified as pericytes comprising the hematopoietic niche, are a group of heterogeneous cells composed of multipotent stem cells, including ...

Cell signalling is the mechanism by which stimuli are transmitted via a signalling cascade to effector molecules that orchestrate the appropriate response. Types of cell signalling pathways ...

Genetic alterations may help mosquitoes adjust to climate change, shifting the distribution of mosquito-borne disease in a warming planet.
