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 ...

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 ...

We’re just beginning to decode this faint optical “signature of life” and what it could reveal about health, disease, and the ...

The body's organs are in constant communication. Fat tissue tells the liver when to store or release energy, the immune ...

The cells lining skin capillaries are constantly sending each other messages—tiny pulses of calcium that help regulate blood ...

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 ...
