When two cells "talk" to each other, they often do so through tiny channels called electrical synapses. Unlike chemical ...

A new study describes a key molecular mechanism that explains how cells exchange information through extracellular vesicles ...

Schematic of synthetic protocells: Upon activation with a light pulse, synthetic cell organelles release substance A. The substance enters the receiver protocell and its synthetic organelle containing ...

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 ...

Moleculent’s Techstart program gives researchers early access to its high-plex platform for mapping direct cell-cell ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far surpassing previous efforts that produced only a few dozen. By ...

A research team has succeeded in synthesizing simple, environmentally sensitive cells complete with artificial organelles. For the first time, the researchers have also been able to emulate natural ...
