Activation of hepatic stellate cells is the central event in hepatic fibrosis. These perisinusoidal cells orchestrate an array of changes including degradation of the normal ECM of liver ...

Membraneless organelles, also called biomolecular condensates, are changing how scientists think about protein chemistry, ...

The cytoplasm is abundant and eosinophilic with indistinct cell borders, and they are often single with a stellate shape but small clusters also occur. Pleomorphism and multinucleated cells can be ...

How does the brain store—and access—our memories? While our understanding of the brain has (thankfully) developed greatly from the days of removing cerebral tissue to see what would happen, a precise ...

Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little "organs" ...

Now, an international team of mathematicians has discovered a new class of shapes capable of tiling with a minimal amount of ...

Dysfunctions of the tiny cell processes (primary cilia) of the pancreatic beta cells could be a cause of type 2 diabetes.

We want to understand how environmental and genetic factors affect the refinement of neuronal connections and dynamically shape and mis-shape the behavior that these neuronal network sub-serve.

How do Cancer Cells Adopt Different Shapes During Metastasis? The migration of cells is an essential event during organism development and for many functions in the adult organism. For example immune ...

The study by Power and colleagues is important as elucidating the dynamic immune responses to photoreceptor damage in vivo potentiates future work in the field to better understand the disease process ...
