Action potential is the electrical signal that lets neurons communicate, and this concise neuroscience lesson breaks down how ...

Our understanding of how cells interact with each other has been driven for decades by the central concept of ...

Importantly, these fingerprints are consistent across different cell types for the same signaling pathway, which means that instead of mapping each cell type separately, scientists can reconstruct ...

A new review is raising questions about whether common respiratory infections could influence cancer cells that have remained dormant in the body after treatment. Researchers wanted to understand ...

Scientists say they have built a cell from scratch for the first time that can feed, grow and replicate like a natural cell. This breakthrough in synthetic biology could usher in an era of ...

For the very first time, biologists packed nonliving components into a cell-like membrane, piece by piece, and witnessed the bag of molecules start to behave like life. The lab-made synthetic cell ...

B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) occurs when abnormal B cells accumulate in the bone marrow and blood. This crowds out healthy blood cells and weakens the body’s ability to fight infections.

Cell communication is essential to coordinate cellular functions within living organisms. Our study shows that three-dimensional (3D) cell shapes can directly impact contact-based Notch-Delta ...

Artificial intelligence is already being used to write romance novels, academic papers and software applications. But how does A.I. stack up against some of the world’s best human writers? Skeptics ...

RTKs play important roles in cell biology because they recognize extracellular signals for growth, metabolism, differentiation, and survival (4, 5). RTKs autophosphorylate upon ligand binding, which ...

Our ever-growing capacity to observe dynamic processes at the single-cell level has highlighted how cells use complex signaling dynamics to provide adequate responses to intra- and extracellular cues.
