As we learn more about cancer, it appears that the communication pathways that cancer cells use between themselves, and with cells in their environment, are much more intelligent than once believed.

A new comprehensive atlas of cells fills gaps in knowledge on how different cells in the intestine act together to drive celiac disease, potentially opening new avenues for future therapeutic ...

A new study describes a key molecular mechanism that explains how cells exchange information through extracellular vesicles (EVs), small particles with great therapeutic potential. The results, ...

Cell-to-cell communication is essential throughout all forms and stages of life, and many communication mechanisms are well studied. However, over the past few years, scientists have found increasing ...

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. Findings from the new ...

In a key advance for regenerative medicine and gut health, scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have uncovered a precise and ...

A type of flatworms, called planarians, can regenerate whole organisms from pieces as small as one-279th of their body. 1 Depending on how these goofy-looking worms were cut, they could even come back ...

SCLC diagnosis involves imaging, biopsies, and lab tests to assess tumor spread and guide treatment decisions. Treatment options vary by stage, with surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy ...
