The mystery of early embryonic communication is starting to be unraveled thanks to a new stem cell-based model.
Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School have developed two powerful computational tools that could transform how researchers study the "conversations" between cells inside the body. The tools, called ...
From the moment an embryo starts to take shape, two-way communication is critical for making sure tissues and organs develop correctly.
The study revealed the small-molecule signaling system for mammalian cell-cell communication that combines super-sensitivity with a chassis-friendly, low-burden design, and demonstrated the system's ...
Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...
As 2025 comes to a close, the editors at The Scientist asked researchers to reflect on the biggest breakthroughs in cell biology this year. They named advances in everything from embryo models for ...
T his past year, we explored a lot of new cell biology research—from cancer to plants to microbes, and more! It’s hard to ...
