Biophysicist Susy Kohout explores how cells respond to electrical cues, shedding light on the connection between cell ...

At first glance, bat sea stars, the nubbly, orange, many-footed creatures often found on the seafloor, seem about as far from humans as one can get. Appearances can be deceiving, however. Scientists ...

Microtubules, part of heart muscle cells' internal "skeleton," help determine how the heart changes shape under stress, and a common signaling pathway called the ERK pathway acts as a key controller ...

Characterising all cell types in the human body is essential to understand how our tissues and organs work. This information can drive major advances in healthcare and medicine through a deep ...

Senescent "zombie" cells are essential architects required to build and maintain the brain's protective barriers.

Nonetheless, the researchers now have access to a much larger number of different cell types than they had before. They would like to use in-vitro nerve cells to develop cell culture models for ...

Researchers at the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute have demonstrated that combining data from different origins enables a more precise characterization of cell type's diversity into ...
