By tracking the fate of individual embryonic stem cells, researchers have found that endoderm cells—early embryonic cells ...

Cells use various signaling molecules to regulate the nervous, immune, and vascular systems. Among these, nitric oxide (NO) and ammonia (NH₃) play important roles, but their chemical instability and ...

University of Oxford-led research finds low-dose rapamycin functions as a genomic protector in aging human immune cells, ...

A new study reveals evidence of electrical signaling and coordinated behavior in choanoflagellates, the closest living relatives of animals. This elaborate example of cell communication offers key ...

A team led by Mount Sinai researchers has identified stem cell populations and mechanisms underlying age-related degeneration in glands that are vital to eye function. The findings, published in ...

Bacteria can detect and respond to local cell-surface perturbations, but how they sense changes in overall cell shape and ...
