While extracellular signals can be captured with less invasive methods, they do not provide much detail about the cell's electrical activity. "It is like listening to a conversation through a wall–you ...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny bubbles released by cells, acting as cargo vessels through which cells exchange signals and thus communicate. A paper recently published in the journal Cell ...

Comparison of methods to record signals inside cells. Current methods (left) are more costly, invasive and low-throughput. The new method (right) overcomes these hurdles by using AI to reconstruct ...

This graphic illustrates paracrine adhesion signaling on small extracellular vesicles, which secretes a protein called galectin-3, which promotes endocytosis so the vesicle can be absorbed into the ...

Cancer cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) can travel from distant tumors through the bloodstream and kidneys and be excreted into urine, as reported by researchers at Science Tokyo.

Hypertrophic scarring affects a large proportion of patients following burns, trauma, or surgery and arises from prolonged fibroblast hyperactivity and excessive extracellular matrix accumulation.
