Human organoids have been proposed to be powerful tools mimicking the physiopathological processes of the organs of origin. Recently, human pancreatic organoids (hPOs) have gained increasing attention ...

A new study describes a key molecular mechanism that explains how cells exchange information through extracellular vesicles (EVs), small particles with great therapeutic potential. The results, ...

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 ...

New stem cell-based embryo model reveals previously unknown communication between early tissues that become the spine and muscles in the central part of the body. From the moment an embryo starts to ...

As 2025 comes to a close, the editors at The Scientist asked researchers to reflect on the biggest breakthroughs in cell biology this year. They named advances in everything from embryo models for ...

Launching a company in today’s competitive (and litigious) spatial biology market may seem risky. But the new company, Moleculent, located in Stockholm, Sweden, has a different focus than the spatial ...
