Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have discovered a previously unknown type of connective tissue cells that surround cancer cells in pancreatic tumors. The newly discovered cells counteract ...

A new single-cell profiling technique has mapped pre-malignant gene mutations and their effects in solid tissues for the ...

Tumours have developed many strategies and tricks to gain advantages in the body. Led by cell biology professor Sabine Werner, researchers at ETH Zurich have now discovered another surprising trick ...

Gene expression reveals that different types of human cell can work as a unit. These cellular modules, found in several tissues, change during disease. However, suitable computational methods are ...

Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School have developed two powerful computational tools that could transform how researchers study the "conversations" between cells inside the body. The tools, called ...

Researchers have created a way to guide and control the development of stem cells into specific tissues and organs, opening the door to developing a means of one day tackling complex diseases like ...

A research team from the University of Cologne has shown how zebrafish can rebuild their nerve pathways and restore their locomotor function after a spinal cord injury. Specialized connective tissue ...

How can we ensure that life-saving drugs or genetic therapies reach their intended target cells without causing harmful side effects? Researchers have taken an important step to answer this question.

The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents ...

Immune responses rely on the efficient movement of immune cells within the complex and geometrically unpredictable three-dimensional tissues that make up our bodies. Recent research by the Sixt group ...
