Drs. Jeanette Johnson, Elana J. Fertig, and Daniel Bergman review mathematical models and genomic data to simulate cancer cell growth. [University of Maryland School of Medicine] Researchers at ...

The mystery of early embryonic communication is starting to be unraveled thanks to a new stem cell-based model.

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, ...

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 ...

Gastric cancer cells can activate KRAS-driven signals, enabling autonomous tumor growth by producing their own WNT proteins. New research reveals how gastric cancer cells exploit WNT signaling for ...

When inflammation in the body goes unchecked, it can cause fibrosis, or tissue scarring that may lead to organ dysfunction or ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

In a groundbreaking development, scientists have uncovered a type of immortal cell in laboratory settings, offering unprecedented potential for medical research and treatment. These cells, with their ...

University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers have discovered an unknown way obesity causes high blood pressure – and it comes from ...
