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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A research team led by Professors Yixuan Wang and Shaorong Gao from the School of Life Sciences and Technology at Tongji University has made significant progress in understanding early human embryonic ...

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 ...
