Communication and quorum sensing in non-living mimics of eukaryotic cells [PDF]

, 2018
Cells in tissues or biofilms communicate with one another through chemical and mechanical signals to coordinate collective behaviors. Non-living cell mimics provide simplified models of natural systems; however, it has remained challenging to implement ...

Exosomes as Mediators of Cell-to-Cell Communication in Thyroid Disease [PDF]

International Journal of Endocrinology, 2020
Exosomes are a type of extracellular vehicle, formed by budding cell membranes, containing proteins, DNA, and RNA. Concentrated cargoes from parent cells are enveloped in exosomes, which are cell specific and may have functions in the recipient cell ...

Specific targeting of a plasmodesmal protein affecting cell-to-cell communication.

PLoS Biology, 2008
Plasmodesmata provide the cytoplasmic conduits for cell-to-cell communication throughout plant tissues and participate in a diverse set of non-cell-autonomous functions.

Docosahexaenoic fatty acid reduces the pro‐inflammatory response induced by IL-1β in astrocytes through inhibition of NF-κB and AP-1 transcription factor activation

BMC Neuroscience, 2021
Background Astrocytes are responsible for a broad range of functions that maintain homeostasis in the brain. However, their response to the pro-inflammatory cytokines released by activated microglia in various neurological pathologies may exacerbate ...

Loss of fiber cell communication may contribute to the development of cataracts of many different etiologies

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
The lens is an avascular organ that is supported by an internal circulation of water and solutes. This circulation is driven by ion pumps, channels and transporters in epithelial cells and by ion channels in fiber cells and is maintained by fiber-fiber ...

Communicator Extraordinaire: Extracellular Vesicles in the Tumor Microenvironment Are Essential Local and Long-Distance Mediators of Cancer Metastasis

Biomedicines, 2023
Human tumors are increasingly being described as a complex “ecosystem”, that includes many different cell types, secreted growth factors, extracellular matrix (ECM) components, and microvessels, that altogether create the tumor microenvironment (TME ...
