The cells in our bodies move in groups during biological processes such as wound healing and tissue development—but because of resistance, or viscosity, those cells can't just neatly glide past each ...

Researchers have developed two innovative tools to help us delve deeper into cell communication, offering spatial insight ...

Mast cells are immune cells that responds to different pathogens, such as bacteria and parasites. In response to these pathogens, mast cells release different chemicals, such as histamine and heparin, ...

Indiana University School of Medicine researchers have made significant progress in understanding how cells communicate during inflammation. The study, recently published in PNAS, was conducted over a ...

Understanding how cells transform into specialized types during human development is a central challenge in biology. This complex process, known as cell differentiation, holds the key to understanding ...

Extracellular vesicles and particles are central to how cells communicate, especially in cancer, where they help shape ...

Natural killer cells, also referred to as NK cells, play several major roles in the body's defense against cancers like renal cell carcinoma. Natural killer cells, also referred to as NK cells, play ...

A Dartmouth study published in Nature Communications reveals that immune cells in the brain use a surprising two-step process ...

Vaults are mysterious cellular structures that can be genetically engineered to store information about a cell’s history.

A type of cell that plays a crucial role in tissue repair after a heart attack may also inadvertently be why cutting-edge cell therapies cause an increased risk of rhythm disorders, according to a new ...
