Cells constantly probe their environments, searching for physical cues that guide their behavior. And yet a cell's response ...

Microtubules perform an active role in communication within the cell by transmitting received signals to the cell's functional units. Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and the Department ...

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 ...

A new single‑cell sequencing method is giving researchers a clearer view of how immune cells actually behave—capturing not just what they plan to do, but what they are doing in real time. The platform ...

Sometimes I read a paper that literally gives me goosebumps—not because it gave me the answer to a question I’ve been seeking ...
