A team led by scientists at King's College London, in collaboration with national and international partners, has discovered how a specific group of immune cells in the gut—Group 3 Innate Lymphoid ...

Rice University scientists have used light-activated molecular machines to trigger intercellular calcium wave signals, revealing a powerful new strategy for controlling cellular activity, according to ...

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 ...

More than a century ago, Alois Alzheimer noted unusual changes in brain fats, which he described as "lipoid granules," along with the buildup of amyloid‐beta (amyloid) plaques and tau protein tangles.
