People communicate with each other, sometimes face to face, sometimes with a text message or phone call. Cells also communicate with each other, sometimes by touching and sometimes by sending signals ...
One hundred years ago, Alexander Gurwitsch dared to propose that living cells emit faint ultraviolet light, invisible to the naked eye, to communicate with and stimulate one another. It was an idea so ...
The body's organs are in constant communication. Fat tissue tells the liver when to store or release energy, the immune ...
A study by Dorothy P. Schafer, Ph.D., and Travis E. Faust, Ph.D., at UMass Chan Medical School, explains how two different cell types in the brain—astrocytes and microglia—communicate in response to ...
Scientists at Houston Methodist have developed an artificial intelligence platform that can decode how cells communicate inside the human body, opening a window into conditions such as Alzheimer's ...
Deep inside a small, windowless room at the University of California, Berkeley, two microscopes are quietly capturing some of ...
Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, demonstrates a novel approach for nanoscopic profiling of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) using high-speed atomic force microscopy ...

Cells behave like cities and organelles carry out infrastructural roles: mitochondria are powerhouses, the endoplasmic reticulum serves as a transport hub and lysosomes help with waste disposal.
A team led by Simon Haas has developed a technology to decode how immune cells talk to each other – revealing how our bodies respond to infections, how miscommunication can trigger autoimmune diseases ...
Adaptability may be the defining characteristic of our species — not our large brains, our long legs, or our ability to make tools, but our ability to rapidly learn new skills and behaviours in ...
