A groundbreaking study led by Children's Hospital Los Angeles has found a novel mechanism behind neuroblastoma progression: the shape and structure of the extracellular matrix. The study, led by ...

This isn’t science fiction. It’s emerging biology — and it might be the key to slowing, or even halting, the aging process.

Rhobo6, a light microscopy probe, gives scientists an unprecedented look at the extracellular matrix -- the collection of organized molecular structures that fills the spaces between cells in our ...

Our cells are constantly being pushed, stretched, and compressed without our awareness: a play of invisible forces that ...

Peptide science has expanded rapidly in recent decades, revealing molecules with intriguing signaling roles that may influence diverse regenerative and organizational processes within an organism.

This neon tapestry of red and blue is a unique look at the space between cells in the body known as the extracellular matrix. This image was created using a new labeling technique that allows ...

Various forms of inflammation, including traumatic brain injury (TBI), can impact neuroimmune communication between the brain and the periphery, and are ...

For in vitro cellular assays, the extracellular matrix—the material between cells—often is overlooked, but changes within this microenvironment affect cells’ proliferation and differentiation and, ...

A study by researchers at the University of California San Diego could make it easier to treat breast cancer by uncovering a ...

Fascia of live mouse pancreas, in which the extracellular matrix is labeled with Rhobo6 (red) and nuclei are labeled with Hoechst (cyan). Maximum intensity projection shown. Before arriving at Janelia ...
