Researchers succeeded in cracking the formation mechanism of 'microsomes'

Microsomes are recently discovered cellular organelles that are formed by local swelling of membrane fibers formed during cell migration. The microsomes store intracellular biomolecules such as DNA, RNA, proteins and even whole organelles

The propagation of the vibration waves outside the cell increases the strength of the mechanical signals in communication between cells

A study by Tel Aviv University demonstrated how vibrational forces are transmitted by the extracellular network in the tissue causing effective interactions between the cells in the tissue

The 2022 Wolf Prize in Chemistry promotes the understanding of the chemistry of intercellular communication

The laureates also worked on inventing chemical methods to study the role of carbohydrates, fats and proteins in these biological processes.
