From the moment an embryo starts to take shape, two-way communication is critical for making sure tissues and organs develop ...

When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ...

The evolution of the lung represents a compelling chapter in evolutionary developmental biology, highlighting the intricate interplay between genetic mechanisms and environmental pressures during the ...

Microtubules perform an active role in communication within the cell by transmitting received signals to the cell's functional units. Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and the Department ...

Cells typically contain a cytoskeleton, which helps shuttle things around and provides structural integrity, among other ...

Neurons can rapidly rebalance their communication using a structural signal rather than electrical activity, overturning long-held assumptions about how synapses maintain stability.

From small ions to large molecules, cellular gates control what can pass in and out of cells. But how one such gate, called ...

T cell immunotherapies are on the cutting-edge of cancer treatments, but a full understanding of how they work has been ...
