Somatostatin, a signaling molecule produced by many inhibitory neurons in the brain, broadly dampens communication among a variety of cell types in the prefrontal cortex and promotes exploratory and ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - A Purdue University study shows that Notch signaling, a key biological pathway tied to development and cell communication, also plays an important role in the onset of obesity ...

In addition to conventional secreted factors, cells also secrete ncRNA molecules (RNAkines). The molecular types of secreted factor are in bold, and representative examples or subfamilies, such as ...

Scientists at EPFL have created a scalable 3D organoid model that captures key features of early limb development, revealing how a specialized signaling center shapes both cell identity and tissue ...

Yale School of Medicine (YSM) scientists have discovered a molecular difference in the brains of autistic people compared to their neurotypical counterparts. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest ...

During early development, the embryo builds the body's organs by exchanging chemical signals between different cell types. When developing limbs, a thin band of skin cells at the limb’s surface, ...
