Cell–cell communication is essential for tissue development, function and regeneration. The revolution of single-cell genomics technologies offers an unprecedented opportunity to uncover how cells ...

When two cells "talk" to each other, they often do so through tiny channels called electrical synapses. Unlike chemical synapses, these so-called gap junctions enable the direct exchange of ...

Homeostasis is a state of balance amongst all bodily systems that enables an organism to survive and function optimally 1. To maintain this balance, the physiology of an organism must be able to ...

Messenger RNA can travel between different types of stem cells through tunnel-like structures, as revealed by a new study. By studying interactions between mouse and human stem cells, they discovered ...

An interdisciplinary team of scientists has developed a technology to decode immune cell communication. By measuring interactions between cells, the method offers insights into how the human body ...

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 ...
