Planar cell polarity (PCP) mechanisms orchestrate the uniform orientation of cells within the plane of a tissue, playing a pivotal role in embryonic development, tissue organisation and the ...
It has long been thought that only nerve and heart cells use electric impulses to communicate, while epithelial cells -- which compose the linings of our skin, organs and body cavities -- are mute, ...
Stopping cancer cells from entering a soft biomechanical state could help the immune system clear dormant cancer metastasis.

In a new study published in Nature Communications titled, “The reference genome of the human diploid cell line RPE-1,” researchers from University of Rome La Sapienza have produced the first reference ...
Neurons talk to one another using electricity. If you could hear these impulses, they might sound like constant, rapid-fire chatter all over the nervous system. Heart muscle cells do something similar ...
