These issues are largely resolved by using iPS stems cells that arise from somatic cells because they can be recovered from an adult source. Furthermore, if cells are recovered from a human donor ...

For dog lovers, the idea of cloning a beloved pet has long been the stuff of science fiction. But thanks to incredible ...

In the summer of 2018, 59-year-old David Gould went for his annual checkup, expecting to hear the usual: Everything looks fine. Instead, he was told that he was newly—and oddly—anemic.

soma cell fate decision during embryogenesis. After a flurry of cell divisions from the starting “germ cell” (i.e. united egg and sperm), somatic cells begin to exit the cell cycle as the DREAM ...

Working with a line of colon cancer cells, Korean researchers figured out a way to throw a few genetic switches to cause the ...

Our lives begin with germ cells, sperm and eggs, which are then passed on to the next generation. How exactly are these germ ...

The Nematode C. elegans, aka the worm, is a powerful system to approach the question. The adult worm consists of 959 somatic cells that arise via an invariant cell lineage. The invariant lineage ...
