Filamentous cyanobacteria represent a distinctive group of oxygenic photoautotrophs that exhibit a remarkable form of prokaryotic multicellularity. These organisms form elongated trichomes in which ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Almost all cells in the human body have “micro-hairs” called primary cilia. In this study, I will reveal what organs small particles released from the primary cilia to the extracellular space or lumen ...

Messenger RNA can travel between different types of stem cells through tunnel-like structures, as revealed by a new study. By studying interactions between mouse and human stem cells, they discovered ...

The study was led by Professor Albert Lu, from the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at the University of Barcelona and the CELLEX Biomedical Research Centre (IDIBAPS-UB), and María Yáñez-Mó, ...
