How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer ...

A) Taste tissue of wild-type mice and taste cell synaptic dysfunction mice (SNAP-cKO). In SNAP-cKO mice, the number of sour-sensing cells is reduced. B) Gustatory nerve responses to various taste ...

Researchers have created a protein that can detect the faint chemical signals neurons receive from other brain cells. By tracking glutamate in real time, scientists can finally see how neurons process ...

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 ...

Cancer and Alzheimer’s disease rarely strike the same person, a pattern that has puzzled clinicians for years. Instead of being an odd statistical quirk, new work suggests that tumors might actively ...

Left: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) micropatterned on a Gaussian gradient and stained with antibodies for CD81 as red, CD63 as green, and CD9 as blue. Right: EVs micropatterned as the Nazca hummingbird ...

Cancer tumors hijack the vagus nerve to communicate with the brain, triggering a hormonal response that suppresses the immune system.

Tumours lure and then hijack nearby sensory neurons to boost their own growth. The cancer cells use these neurons to send a signal to the brain that subdues the activity of immune cells around the ...

Scientists at Stanford Medicine have discovered a promising new approach that could help protect and possibly restore brain ...

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard University have created a tiny electronic implant that helps lab-grown pancreatic tissue develop and work properly, raising hopes for new cell ...
