But it has not been possible to detect chemical messages that travel between cells that are nearby but not in contact – called paracrine signals – because they are highly localized and they ...

The next big question was whether sEGF signals in a paracrine fashion. To address this, the researchers knocked out the BACE1 orthologue in zebrafish. Then, to visualize myelination, they mated the ...

it is also possible that some of these activities result from paracrine signals that originate from apoptosing cells, but stimulate signal transduction in non-apoptotic, neighboring cells.

“Because little is known about what this type of signaling does during pregnancy, we investigated the role of paracrine signals called exosomes in the timing of labor and delivery.” The researchers ...

Reciprocal paracrine signaling between keratinocytes and dermal adipocytes. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted to EurekAlert! by ...

For instance, during cell/tissue injury, the paracrine signaling process releases growth factors that signal nearby stem cells to assist in tissue repair in the form of scar tissue formation or ...
