Molecularly defined serotonin (enterochromaffin) cells of the gut lining were distinguished by single-cell expression analysis, in situ hybridization, and immunohistochemistry into 14 topographically ...

T cells are white blood cells that are important for adaptive immunity. They have unique cell surface receptors that are generated by randomly assorting genes. These receptors allow T cells to ...

Cell growth usually refers to cell proliferation, the increase in cell numbers that occurs through repeated cell division. Cell growth can also refer to the enlargement of cell volume, which can ...

Apr. 4, 2025 — New research shows how small shifts in the molecular makeup of a virus can profoundly alter its fate. These shifts could turn a deadly pathogen into ...

Natural killer (NK) cells are the predominant innate lymphocyte subsets that mediate anti-tumor and anti-viral responses, and therefore possess promising clinical utilization. NK cells do not express ...

Previous studies have demonstrated that TRPC4 contributes to the Ca 2+-permeable responses to GPCR signaling in a variety of cells, including the gut epithelium enterochromaffin cells, adrenal ...

Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through the nervous system. Different types of neurons affect the ability to move, which begins as an impulse, or ...

Mar. 20, 2025 — Researchers have engineered yeast to efficiently convert methanol into D-lactic acid, a key compound for biodegradable plastics and pharmaceuticals. By optimizing gene and ...
