Tunnelling nanotubes (TNTs) are slender, filamentous structures composed primarily of actin that establish direct cytoplasmic connections between cells. These dynamic bridges facilitate the ...

Cell-to-cell communication is essential throughout all forms and stages of life, and many communication mechanisms are well studied. However, over the past few years, scientists have found increasing ...

Gap junctions are specialised intercellular channels that facilitate direct communication between adjacent cells by allowing the regulated exchange of ions, second messengers and small metabolites.

Researchers at Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, demonstrate a novel approach for nanoscopic profiling of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) using high-speed atomic ...

Communication between parasites and their hosts is a central determinant of infection outcome, shaping parasite survival, tissue tropism, immune modulation, ...
