New research shows that neurons can stabilize their signaling using a fast, physical mechanism — not the electrical activity ...

Targeting receptors for erythropoietin on dendritic cells may be a viable strategy for treating MS and other diseases, ...

From small ions to large molecules, cellular gates control what can pass in and out of cells. But how one such gate, called ...

A new study published in Science Advances reveals evidence of electrical signaling and coordinated behavior in choanoflagellates, the closest living relatives of animals. This elaborate example of ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have used a "zap-and-freeze" technology to watch hard-to-see brain cell communications in living brain tissue from mice and humans.

Gut support cells communicate with surprising precision – like brain neurons – using tiny extensions to send instructions to the stem cells responsible for maintaining and healing the intestine. The ...

When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ...

Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC have developed a new type of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell that ...
