A) Taste tissue of wild-type mice and taste cell synaptic dysfunction mice (SNAP-cKO). In SNAP-cKO mice, the number of sour-sensing cells is reduced. B) Gustatory nerve responses to various taste ...

Left: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) micropatterned on a Gaussian gradient and stained with antibodies for CD81 as red, CD63 as green, and CD9 as blue. Right: EVs micropatterned as the Nazca hummingbird ...

Signaling is fundamental to how cells sense and respond to their environment—but in immune cells, those signals must be precisely amplified to mount an effective defense against invasive threats. New ...

New simulator and computational tools generate realistic ‘virtual tissues’ and map cell-to-cell ‘conversations’ from spatial transcriptomics data, potentially accelerating AI-driven discoveries in ...

Scientists have discovered how cells decide when to respond to physical forces, potentially opening new avenues for tackling ...

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 ...
