Embryonic development is one of the most dynamic biological processes in nature. Cells and tissues organize and reorganize ...

Researchers at VIB, Ghent University, and VUB have uncovered how two proteins essential for immune cell development work together at the molecular level. The findings provide important insights into a ...

Within the past decade, biologists have discovered that one strategy cells use to keep their contents organized is a ...

T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on exquisitely timed molecular signals. Now researchers have captured one of the ...

Cell signaling is crucial for cells to communicate and function correctly. Disruptions in these pathways, caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, ...

Scientists find that close interactions between the mechanical properties of tissues and biochemical signalling between cells ...

Neural stem cells (NSCs) sit at the heart of brain development, lifelong neurogenesis, and the brain’s capacity to respond to injury and disease. Their fate ...

The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents flowing through our bodies. We’re used to thinking of the brain as an ...
