While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

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 ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade ...

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 ...

Mutations that happen throughout a person’s life may contribute to disease more than we realized. In the summer of 2018, ...

A team of Japanese scientists has discovered the gene that determines the fur color of calico cats, which are characterized ...

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 ...

Chinese Academy of Sciences Zhong Zhong was created by somatic cell nuclear transfer Zhong Zhong was born eight weeks ago and Hua Hua six weeks ago. They are named after the Mandarin term for the ...

We provide locally derived human pluripotent stem cell lines and generate induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from somatic cells provided by the client. BSCC operates on a fee-for-service basis ...

as well as cell lineage (i.e. somatic mtDNA and nuclear mutations). In addition to resolving the functional heterogeneity of immune cells throughout the body, we hope to help translate our basic ...
