In about one out of every 1,000 pregnancies, the neural tube, a key nervous system structure, fails to close properly.

For the first time, a stem cell model has produced a structure resembling an early human embryo with a yolk-sac-like structure, from a single starting stem cell population and without direct genetic ...

T cell development is a tightly regulated process that transforms immature thymocytes into mature T cells with distinct functionalities. In the thymus, precursor cells undergo a series of selection ...

For the first time, a stem cell model has produced a structure resembling an early human embryo with a yolk-sac-like ...

Their findings, recently reported in the journal Nature, overturn longstanding assumptions in developmental biology and could ...

Successfully producing large quantities of biotherapeutics, including monoclonal antibodies and recombinant protein products, depends on robust and reliable cell line development (CLD). Issues that ...

Fibroblasts are an essential component of the heart, as they play key roles in its structure, development and response to ...

A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — plays a vital, overlooked role in the first steps of life. Each of us starts ...
