The Cell Phone: A History The cell phone is one of the most revolutionary inventions of the modern era. Since the first commercially available cell phone was released in 1983, the device has changed the way we communicate and stay connected. From the first brick-sized mobile phones to today's sleek, pocket-sized versions, the cell phone has gone through numerous iterations over the past three decades. In this article, we take a look back at the history of the cell phone and the various milestones that have defined its evolution.
Autoimmune diseases often involve organised immune cell clusters called ectopic lymphoid structures (ELS). This study reveals how lactate, once considered a metabolic by-product, shapes ELS through the transporter SLC5A12, offering a novel metabolic checkpoint for targeted therapy.
We propose the idea of Cellular Community Motifs in spatial omics and use a graph neural network approach, as TrimNN, to explore cell organization rules. We hope this work can lead to a new 'Bottom-up' perspective of deciphering the relations between structure and functions in cell organizations.
How did life leap from simple microbial cells to the complex, structured cells that make up animals, plants, and fungi? A new study in The EMBO Journal by researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) offers fresh insight into this deep evolutionary mystery. It sheds light on how the cytoskeleton, the cell's internal scaffold, may have evolved from far simpler beginnings in ancient microbes.
In this blog post, Martin Nuñez, one of Journal of Applied Ecology's Senior Editors tells us about the importance of being able to write effectively and how his latest book can help researchers to do just that. © Nuñez 2025, drawn by Walter Policelli Working as an editor for Journal of Applied Ecology has made…
This week: revisiting sociobiology, what can a cell remember, LLMs vs. the Kelly criterion, questioning the friendship recession, how and why air travel is getting worse, the Diet Coke test, and more. Also: Jeremy is traveling today so comment moderation will be slow. Revisiting the sociobiology debate 50 years on. What can a cell remember?…
Cancer remains a leading cause of death globally, driven by complex genetic and molecular alterations. PTPN6, a key regulator of immune response and cell signaling, has shown potential in specific cancers, but its role across multiple cancer types, particularly solid tumors, remains underexplored.
For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as "junk" and considered to serve no real purpose. In a new study published in Cell Genomics, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show that the repetitive part of the human genome plays an active role during early brain development and may also be relevant for understanding brain diseases.
