Scientists found that embryonic skin cells “whisper” through faint mechanical tugs, using the same force-sensing proteins ...

Like all complex organisms, every human originates from a single cell that multiplies through countless cell divisions.

and water to move between cells – known as intercellular communication. Plasmodesmata are only present in plant and algae ...

Brain cells, or neurons, have multiple means of communication, and their chatter may be influenced by the cells around them, research suggests. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

During animal development, cells divide and arrange themselves in a coordinated way, eventually forming the embryo. The cells ...

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 ...

IN a previous communication, a method for the quantitative isolation of nuclei from HeLa cells was described1. The nuclei were isolated by stirring the cells in a dilute solution of ‘Tween 80 ...

Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.

The research team began by analyzing gene expression — which bits of DNA are converted into RNA used to make cell proteins — in more than 65,000 individual cells across four placozoan species.
