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 ...

Female fertility depends on the successful growth and maturation of eggs (oocytes) within ovarian follicles. Within these ...

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 ...

A new study generated one of the most comprehensive spatially resolved transcriptomic maps of cellular communication between ...

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 ...

Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, yet once damaged, it cannot regenerate naturally. To overcome this ...

The cells lining skin capillaries are constantly sending each other messages—tiny pulses of calcium that help regulate blood flow, sense physical forces and keep vessel walls intact. Scientists have ...

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 ...

Researchers have created one of the most comprehensive spatial maps showing how bone and skeletal muscle communicate at the ...

Peptide research has expanded dramatically as investigators continue to explore short amino acid chains that participate in ...
