Researchers at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) are a step closer to finding the fountain of youth ...

Within tissues, cells are embedded in complex, three-dimensional structures known as the extracellular matrix. Their biomechanical interactions play a crucial role in numerous biological processes.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as important means of cell–cell communication, having the potential to transfer various cargoes – encompassing proteins, nucleic acids, metabolites or even ...

At first blush, the brain’s extracellular matrix (ECM) seems like the opposite of synaptic plasticity. Plasticity is the ability to change; the ECM is stable, to the point that it is often described ...

Researchers at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) have discovered a specialized population of neutrophils in the skin that produce extracellular matrix components, helping ...

Pancreatic cancer is an exceptionally lethal cancer that is notoriously treatment resistant, in part due to poor vascularization in the tumor microenvironment. Investigators working at the Moores ...

Growing from a single cell into a complex organism with specialized tissues and organs requires a complex and coordinated process. But the mechanical signals that guide tissue and organ ...

Despite the high incidence rate of cleft palate, the underlying factors that contribute to the complex etiology and ...
