Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular processes can create voltage spikes similar to those used by neurons. These ...

A study published today in Nature Communications describes how lymphatic endothelial cells assist in generating robust immune memory, offering new insights into how the immune system functions.

A toxic protein forms dynamic pores in the membranes of brain cells—and that may be the key to understanding how Parkinson's disease develops. This is the conclusion of a new study from Aarhus ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. For decades, scientists have pushed the limits of microscopy to capture sharper and deeper views of the brain. Traditional ...

Remodeling of extracellular matrix (ECM) components of endothelial cells is the main cause of retinal vascular basement membrane (BM) thickening, which leads to the initiation and perpetuation of ...

Purpose: Diabetic retinopathy (DR), a common chronic complication of diabetes, often results in irreversible visual dysfunction. This study investigated the mechanisms underlying the expression of ...

California closes $12 billion budget deficit with hit to migrants Elon Musk’s early birthday present to himself—the first Tesla just drove itself from its factory straight to the customer The Simpsons ...

In addition to revealing cells, the team used ultrasound and microbubbles as probes circulating in the bloodstream to detect brain capillaries. Heiles notes, "To our knowledge, nonlinear sound sheet ...

Ultrasound is one of the most widely used imaging techniques in medicine, but up until recently it hardly played a role in imaging the tiniest structures of our bodies such as cells. “Clinical ...

Certain cells have an unusual shape that is similar to an oak leaf or puzzle piece, and researchers have found that the form of these cells helps them withstand dramatic changes in volume. These cells ...

Missing the beginning of the film. The film explores the structure and function of plant and animal cells using a microscope. It begins with observing onion cells, highlighting their components such ...

Many cells comprise the tumor microenvironment, but endothelial cells are particularly crucial. They line blood vessels, regulating blood flow and inflammation, and their cell junctions are the ...
