T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on exquisitely timed molecular signals. Now researchers have captured one of the ...

A tumor “don’t‑eat‑me” shield also hides pro‑immune danger signals; new antibodies that unmask this hidden cue could make cancers more vulnerable to immune attack.

Researchers from King's College London and the University of Surrey have developed a new technique to measure the content of ...

A newly developed single-cell metabolomics approach enabled researchers to measure the metabolites produced by individual ...

How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer may not depend solely on chemical signals, as long assumed.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new study reveals how your gut bacteria can directly tell your brain when to stop eating, opening fresh avenues for appetite and metabolic research. Study: A gut sense for a microbial pattern ...
