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 ...

A new study describes a key molecular mechanism that explains how cells exchange information through extracellular vesicles (EVs), small particles with great therapeutic potential. The results, ...

Tunnelling nanotubes (TNTs) are slender, filamentous structures composed primarily of actin that establish direct cytoplasmic connections between cells. These dynamic bridges facilitate the ...

Study reveals how drug molecules bind in channels between neighboring cells, changing intercellular communication. Researchers have gained new knowledge of how drugs bind to connexin molecules. These ...

Researchers at Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, demonstrate a novel approach for nanoscopic profiling of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) using high-speed atomic ...

Cells and tissues have a multitude of methods for intercellular communication. Nanoscale assemblies that transfer proteins and RNAs between cells are known, but the impacts of external additions or ...

A research team led by Professors Yixuan Wang and Shaorong Gao from the School of Life Sciences and Technology at Tongji University has made significant progress in understanding early human embryonic ...
