Medically reviewed by Marla Anderson, MD Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer that forms in plasma cells, white blood ...

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

A team from Osaka University has developed scSPOT, a new technique that reveals how immune cells called Tregs simultaneously ...

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 ...

The new research reveals a novel mechanism for signal transmission in brain cells and helps answer an open question in neuroscience about how intracellular signals travel over long distances 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.

What determines the load of the plasma membrane? In almost all cells, the plasma membrane bilayer is an inelastic, two-dimensional fluid; therefore, for membrane to flow laterally into new areas ...

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 ...

Plasma cell leukemia (PCL) is a rare disease that may present de novoor secondary to plasma cell myeloma. Advanced disease and extramedullary involvement are common clinical features at presentation.
