People communicate with each other, sometimes face to face, sometimes with a text message or phone call. Cells also ...

Biophysicist Susy Kohout explores how cells respond to electrical cues, shedding light on the connection between cell ...

Microtubules, part of heart muscle cells' internal "skeleton," help determine how the heart changes shape under stress, and a ...

Cell signalling pathways are central to maintaining cellular homeostasis and regulating essential functions such as proliferation, apoptosis, and repair. In both cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, ...

(MEMPHIS, Tenn. – November 6, 2025) The enzyme RNA polymerase II transcribes genes into messenger RNA. This process is guided by modifications to the enzyme’s “tail” called phosphorylation patterns.

We owe a lot to tissue resident memory T cells (T RM). These specialized immune cells are among the body's first responders to disease. Rather than coursing through the bloodstream-as many T cells ...

Embryonic development is one of the most dynamic biological processes in nature. Cells and tissues organize and reorganize ...

For the first time, scientists have succeeded in artificially mimicking the ion signaling of heart muscle cells. To succeed, researchers at LiU have used organic electronics based on conductive ...

Peptide-based signaling systems continue to occupy a central role in modern biochemical inquiry, particularly in areas concerned with extracellular matrix (ECM) dynamics and structural protein ...
