A analysis group from the College of Basel has succeeded in synthesizing easy, environmentally delicate cells full with synthetic organelles. For the primary time, the researchers have additionally been in a position to emulate pure cell-cell communication utilizing these protocells — primarily based on the mannequin of photoreceptors within the eye. This opens up new … Read more
A team led by researchers at the University of Toronto has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other areas of the body, called neural crest stem cells, are the source of reprogrammed neurons found by other researchers. Their findings refute the popular theory in cellular reprogramming that any developed cell … Read more
A landmark study led by WEHI and La Trobe University has found a potential new diagnostic marker that could be used to better detect the level of tissue damage in our bodies. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small ‘delivery trucks’ released by our cells that deliver important materials to other cells to aid cellular communication. This … Read more
Every second of every day, our body is under attack. The invading agents are viruses, bacteria, parasites, toxins — living and non-living entities that might negatively impact our body’s functioning. What keeps us safe is a squad of patrolling superheroes — proteins that form an essential part of our innate immune system, the body’s first … Read more
