We typically think of a cancerous tumor as a bunch of abnormal cells gone rogue, but the situation is more complicated. This article will explore cell-to-cell communication’s role in cancer ...

Scientists have improved their understanding of a new form of cell-cell communication that is based on extracellular RNA (exRNA). RNA, a molecule that was thought to only exist inside cells, now is ...

For the first time, the researchers have also been able to emulate natural cell-cell communication using these protocells—based on the model of photoreceptors in the eye.

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 ...

An international team led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine with the National Institutes of Health Extracellular RNA Communication Consortium and the Bogdan Mateescu laboratory at the ETH ...

Cell communication is vital to ensuring essential human functions, including growth.

Researchers have developed a live-cell fluorescent labeling that makes bacterial cell-to-cell communication pathways visible. The communication between bacterial cells is essential in the ...

To communicate with its neighbors, animal cells use gap junctions which are symplasmic connections through which molecules can diffuse from one cell to another. In higher plants, the communication ...

A new model for communication in plant cells A new study details how plant cells use glutamate receptor-like proteins to build single-cell communication networks Date: May 5, 2018 Source ...
