Now, MIT engineers have found that this "intercellular" fluid plays a major role in how tissues respond when squeezed, pressed, or physically deformed. Their findings could help scientists understand ...

These images use color markers—blue for nuclei, red for cell membranes, and green for fluid—to show that spaces between cells shrink as fluid moves out during tissue compression, from left to right ...

Researchers have discovered a previously unknown type of connective tissue cells that surround cancer cells in pancreatic tumors. The newly discovered cells counteract tumor development and may ...

Tumours have developed many strategies and tricks to gain advantages in the body. Led by cell biology professor Sabine Werner, researchers at ETH Zurich have now discovered another surprising trick ...

For the past seven years, researchers around the world have been carefully mapping all the types, genes and proteins of every cell in the human body. Called the Human Cell Atlas, the project aims to ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) have found that two of the most frequently administered stem cell therapies, which are often used interchangeably, actually contain ...
