Cell-to-cell communication is essential throughout all forms and stages of life, and many communication mechanisms are well studied. However, over the past few years, scientists have found increasing ...

The body's organs are in constant communication. Fat tissue tells the liver when to store or release energy, the immune ...

During cell-cell communication (CCC), pathways activated by different ligand-receptor pairs may have crosstalk with each other. While multiple methods have been developed to infer CCC networks and ...

A multidisciplinary team has used advanced imaging and computational modeling to analyze the "crosstalk" between neurons and their supporting glial cells in the human brain. This approach highlights ...

As epithelial cells polarize in the tissue plane, the Planar Cell Polarity (PCP) signaling module segregates two distinct molecular subcomplexes to opposite sides of cells. Homodimers of the atypical ...

A new study published in Nature Communications has uncovered a communication pathway between mitochondria and RNA granules ...

One of the most important mechanisms is receptor-mediated signaling. A peptide attaches to a specific receptor on the cell surface, which then activates intracellular proteins such as kinases or ...

Research led by The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine explores the ways brain cells communicate, revealing fresh insight into the progression of Alzheimer's disease.

Its origin from mitochondrial DNA suggests that it may function as part of a retrograde signaling system, where mitochondria ...

Initially, cells are dissociated from liver tissues into single-cell suspensions using in vivo enzymatic perfusion or ex vivo digestion methods. The cells of interest are then enriched from the ...

A 3D rendering showing the internal structure of an animal cell, with several round or wavy structures inside a border. It turns out that the redox state of a cell, such as the animal cell shown, is ...
