Functional subpopulations of β-cells emerge to control pulsative insulin secretion in the pancreatic islets of mice through calcium oscillations.

Adrenomedullin (ADM) inhibits endothelial insulin signaling, contributing to obesity-associated insulin resistance, according ...

New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals that make muscles contract are also responsible for transmitting signals in ...

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

Adrenomedullin disrupts insulin signaling in blood vessels, leading to systemic insulin resistance in obesity-associated type 2 diabetes.

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), which include ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD), are chronic conditions ...

Plasma cells (PCs) are the terminal differentiation stage of activated B cells and serve as crucial effector cells in humoral immunity. While PCs have ...

These cells coordinate bodily functions and movement quickly, often without intentional thought. They also can be affected differently by health conditions. Talk with your healthcare provider if you ...
