Growing from a single cell into a complex organism with specialized tissues and organs requires a complex and coordinated process. But the mechanical signals that guide tissue and organ ...
While the role of barrier function in establishing a protective, nutrient-rich, and ionically balanced environment for neurons has been appreciated for some time, little is known about how signaling ...
Researchers at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) have discovered a specialized population of neutrophils in the skin that produce extracellular matrix components, helping ...
NETs promote macrophage expression of T-cell chemokines and subsequently facilitate cytotoxic CD8+ T cell infiltration and granzyme B production, which drives kidney fibrosis in obstructive ...
Cartilage injuries are a common clinical issue, often caused by trauma, severe infections, or degenerative joint diseases. The lack of direct blood supply to cartilage and limited access to nutrients ...
Osteocytes, the most abundant cells in bone tissue, have long been underestimated in their functional capacity. Traditionally viewed as passive entities, recent research has illuminated their pivotal ...
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, ...
