Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have discovered a previously unknown type of connective tissue cells that surround cancer cells in pancreatic tumors. The newly discovered cells counteract ...

The figure shows a connective tissue cell in which the adhesion protein talin has been modified. As long as no laser light with a suitable wavelength is switched on, the cell forms normal adhesion ...

A new method allows large quantities of muscle stem cells to be safely obtained in cell culture. This provides a potential for treating patients with muscle diseases -- and for those who would like to ...
