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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) are the seventh-most prevalent form of cancer and are associated with human ...

A team led by HHMI Hanna Gray Fellow Shan Meltzer has created a detailed, cell-by-cell map of the spinal cord that offers a new framework for understanding chronic pain and provides a powerful new ...
