Stem cells in most organisms typically take cues from adjacent cells. But new research from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research reveals planarian stem cells ignore their nearest neighbors and ...

The tumor microenvironment (TME) represents a highly complex system that encompasses cellular components (such as cancer cells, stromal cells, and immune cells) and non-cellular components (such as ...

Cell competition is a biological process in which cells assess their relative fitness levels through molecular interactions. This leads to the elimination of less fit neighbors, a mechanism that plays ...
