Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed CarGAP, a chemo-optogenetic tool that uses vitamin B₁₂ and green light to precisely control gap junctions, the ...

T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on ...

New simulator and computational tools generate realistic ‘virtual tissues’ and map cell-to-cell ‘conversations’ from spatial transcriptomics data, potentially accelerating AI-driven discoveries in ...

Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a new way ...

Until now, conventional 3D cell cultures have often been either too rigid or too unstable to realistically reproduce the ...

Cell-cell communication, as the "conductor" of physiological activities, transmits information through signaling molecules, coordinating development, immunity, and homeostasis. During embryonic ...

Colorectal cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide, largely due to metastasis and ...

New stem cell-based embryo model reveals previously unknown communication between early tissues that become the spine and muscles in the central part of the body. From the moment an embryo starts to ...

Cells behave like cities and organelles carry out infrastructural roles: Mitochondria are powerhouses, the endoplasmic reticulum serves as a transport ...
