When cells interact with their environment via receptors at their surface, the receptors can bind to hormones, neurotransmitters, drugs, and toxins which can trigger signaling inside the cell. Now, ...

Follow these guidelines to successfully attach single cells to arrays of cell-adhesion proteins. Single-cell analysis is becoming increasingly important for applications in cancer, stem cell ...

A new technique creates cell-surface-based glycan arrays that are more lifelike than the usual ones assembled by attaching glycans directly to solid supports. Glycans, carbohydrate oligomers, decorate ...
