If cells are removed from the embryo they will differentiate into any cell type. These are called embryonic stem cells. Some stem cells remain in the bodies of adults as adult stem cells.
Scientists used genes from unicellular protists to reprogram mouse cells into stem cells. These cells developed into a living ...
Mitosis is a type of cell division which ensures that, when a cell divides, each new cell produced has the same genetic information. Each human body cell contains 46 chromosomes. These can be ...
Alternatives to primary cells include animal models, which may not effectively recapitulate the disease phenotype, or myocytes derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
Its development is tightly controlled by genetic and epigenetic programs. Stem cell-based embryo models, such as blastoids, serve as models of the blastocyst and are invaluable tools for studying ...
A new risk assessment model developed by investigators from the Blood & Marrow Transplant Clinical Trials Network (BMT CTN) ...
We discovered that interferon gamma (IFNγ) promotes hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) division and myeloid differentiation in a mouse model of Mycobacterium avium infection (Nature 2010). Furthermore, ...
Resolving how cell of origin affects pathways that govern progression of precancerous lesions will ultimately allow us to develop methods to detect PDAC early, which is arguably the most important ...
The goal of the Stem Cell program is to conduct rigorous scientific studies to enhance our knowledge of normal and altered stem cell development and to advance treatments and improve outcomes for ...
