A new study has mapped human urogenital development in its native spatial context, revealing how neighboring organs ...

Stem cells are the original cell type from which all other cells and tissues in the body develop through a very tightly regulated process. However, how stem cells differentiate in addition to ...

Newswise — Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play pivotal roles in the regulation of gene expression, particularly in maintaining pluripotency and directing stem cell. By orchestrating stem cell fate ...

The discovery of a gene essential to early embryonic development sheds light on the preliminary stages of human placenta formation. A team led by scientists from the University of California San Diego ...

Researchers meeting in Nanchang reported new mechanisms of TGF-β signaling in stem cell differentiation, cancer, fibrosis and ...

Chick satellite cells from breast and leg muscles show opposite patterns of proliferation and differentiation when cultured ...

The human body begins with a single fertilized egg formed by the union of a sperm and an egg. As the fertilized egg repeatedly divides into two, four, eight, and more cells, countless cells are ...

Humans have around 30 trillion cells in our adult bodies. Amazingly, each of these cells came from a handful of about 100 stem cells in the earliest days of development. The ability of these embryonic ...
