Downregulation of stromal syntenin sustains AML development
EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2023 The crosstalk between cancer and stromal cells plays a critical role in tumor progression. Syntenin is a small scaffold protein involved in the regulation of intercellular communication that is emerging as a target for cancer therapy.

Expanding cellular coverage via cell-edge deployment in heterogeneous networks: spectral efficiency and backhaul power consumption perspectives [PDF]
, 2014 Heterogeneous small-cell networks (HetNets) are considered to be a standard part of future mobile networks where operator/consumer deployed small-cells, such as femtocells, relays, and distributed antennas (DAs), complement the existing macrocell ...

Bacterial biofilms and infections
Журнал инфектологии, 2014 It is now a common perception that the vast majority of bacterial life in nature is found in surface-bound communities called biofilms rather than in isolated planktonic cells.

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Extracellular vesicles, phospholipid bilayer-membrane vesicles of cellular origin, are emerging as nanocarriers of biological information between cells. Extracellular vesicles transport virtually all biologically active macromolecules (e.g., nucleotides,

In-Person Contact Begets Calling and Texting: Interpersonal Motives for Cell Phone Use, Face-to-Face interaction, and Loneliness [PDF]
, 2010 This study examined how cell-phone use is related to interpersonal motives for using cell phones, face-to-face communication, and loneliness. A survey of 232 college students who owned a cell phone revealed that affection and inclusion were relatively ...

The multiple faces of extracellular vesicles released by microglia: Where are we 10 years after?
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2022 As resident component of the innate immunity in the central nervous system (CNS), microglia are key players in pathology. However, they also exert fundamental roles in brain development and homeostasis maintenance.

A Low-Complexity Precoding Scheme for the Downlink of Multi-Cell Multi-User MIMO AF System [PDF]
, 2012 Because of its simplicity, amplify-and-forward (AF) is one of the most popular cooperative relaying technique. Relays are used in cooperative communication to improve reliability, coverage or spectral efficiency of cell-edge users.

Plasmodesmata ‘in communicado’
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2012 Cell-to-cell communication is fundamental to multicellular life. For this to occur effectively there must be pathways and dynamic networks for communication. These might depend upon electrical or chemical signals or the mass transfer of molecules between

The mechano-chemistry of cytoskeletal force generation [PDF]
, 2014 In this communication, we propose a model to study the non-equilibrium process by which actin stress fibers develop force in contractile cells. The emphasis here is on the non-equilibrium thermodynamics, which is necessary to address the mechanics as ...
