Connexin36 (Cx36) is broadly expressed in neurons and serves as the principal protein that forms interneuronal gap junctions (GJs), also known as electrical synapses. Recent high-resolution structures ...

These communication signals allow cells to regulate the plant's growth and development, including the patterning of stomata—pores on the leaf surface through which gases and water vapor are exchanged.

It can't be heard, but different parts of the human body are in constant conversation, communicating to keep the entire system running efficiently. For biologists, being able to listen in on this ...

New simulator and computational tools generate realistic ‘virtual tissues’ and map cell-to-cell ‘conversations’ from spatial transcriptomics data, potentially accelerating AI-driven discoveries in ...

A new nanoscopy technique developed at The Australian National University (Canberra, Australia) has uncovered hidden networks used for cell-to-cell communication, opening new ways to understand human ...

Scientists at Houston Methodist have developed an artificial intelligence platform that can decode how cells communicate inside the human body, opening a window into conditions such as Alzheimer's ...

A 3D rendering showing the internal structure of an animal cell, with several round or wavy structures inside a border. It turns out that the redox state of a cell, such as the animal cell shown, is ...
