Gut support cells communicate with surprising precision – like brain neurons – using tiny extensions to send instructions to the stem cells responsible for maintaining and healing the intestine. The ...
The study revealed the small-molecule signaling system for mammalian cell-cell communication that combines super-sensitivity with a chassis-friendly, low-burden design, and demonstrated the system's ...
A new study reveals how your gut bacteria can directly tell your brain when to stop eating, opening fresh avenues for appetite and metabolic research. Study: A gut sense for a microbial pattern ...
When two cells "talk" to each other, they often do so through tiny channels called electrical synapses. Unlike chemical synapses, these so-called gap junctions enable the direct exchange of ...
In a key advance for regenerative medicine and gut health, scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have uncovered a precise and ...
A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...
Our nerve cells are surrounded by a protective layer (myelin). This protective layer allows signals to pass between cells incredibly quickly. But what happens when this layer goes missing from cells ...
