Dec. 18, 2024 — Scientists have generated human stem cell models which contain notochord -- a tissue in the developing embryo that acts like a navigation system, directing cells where to build ...

Jan. 14, 2025 — Researchers have developed a gene-editing treatment for prion disease that extends lifespan by about 50 percent in a mouse model of the fatal neurodegenerative condition. The ...

Cell biology is the discipline of biological sciences that studies the structure, physiology, growth, reproduction and death of cells. Research in cell biology uses microscopic and molecular tools ...

Human LAIR-1 transfected WT reporter cells were cultured identically. Reporter cell assays were performed as previously described (28). Briefly, black Falcon clear flat bottom 96-well plates (Corning ...

Their collaboration has resulted in engineered cells called ‘synthetic organizers’ that deliver instructions to stem cells, telling them to grow into specific tissues and organs.

imperial.ac.uk Background Interferon gamma release assays (IGRAs) are the first new diagnostic tests for latent tuberculosis (TB) infection (LTBI) since the century-old tuberculin skin test (TST).

Investigators from Cedars-Sinai and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have identified a new way to deliver instructions that tell stem cells to grow into specific bodily ...

A large-scale single-cell study shows aging happens in specific stages driven by molecular cues, offering targets to modify the aging process and revealing key age and sex-related cellular differences ...

CD4 T helper cells are a type of white blood cell called a lymphocyte that serves an important role in your immune system. These cells help defend the body against infection by directing other "killer ...
