Cell-to-cell communication is essential throughout all forms and stages of life, and many communication mechanisms are well studied. However, over the past few years, scientists have found increasing ...

University of South Alabama researchers report that neurons can transfer mitochondria directly to cancer cells, enhancing their metastatic potential. Oncologists have long suspected that tumors thrive ...

Messenger RNA can travel between different types of stem cells through tunnel-like structures, as revealed by a new study. By studying interactions between mouse and human stem cells, they discovered ...

Scientists are supercharging T cells with multipotent stromal cells’ mitochondria to make them more ferocious invaders of the tumor microenvironment. An international collaboration between researchers ...

Fighting cancer is exhausting for T cells. Hostile tumor microenvironments (TMEs) can drain their mitochondrial activity, leading to a condition known as T-cell exhaustion, which ultimately can result ...

Cells are not isolated units; they continuously exchange proteins, genetic material, and even entire organelles with their neighbors. Intercellular transfer influences how tissues develop, respond to ...
