New research findings show how higher viscosity, or resistance to flow, of the extracellular fluid that surrounds cells enables cancer cells to migrate more rapidly from a primary tumor to other sites ...

New research findings show how higher viscosity, or resistance to flow, of the extracellular fluid that surrounds cells enables cancer cells to migrate more rapidly from a primary tumor to other sites ...

Tiny, immobile cilia sense the direction of extracellular fluid during development to break left-right symmetry during early embryogenesis, researchers report in two independent studies that ...

Based on cells’ ability to respond to physical stimuli, a team of researchers hypothesized that extracellular fluid viscosity (which varies under physiological and pathological conditions, such as ...

This study is the first to demonstrate that extracellular vesicles transport functionally active hormones. Specifically, it ...

When your doctor thinks you might have an infection or an allergy, a simple blood test should give answers within hours. But for much of the world, that test can take days—or never happen at all. The ...

The body’s tissues routinely communicate with each other through RNA messages sent back and forth between cells. So, it seemed obvious to scientists that, by eavesdropping on these extracellular ...
