An international team of scientists, including B. Duygu 脰zpolat at Washington University in St. Louis, has published the first single-cell atlas for Pristina leidyi (Pristina), the water nymph worm, a segmented annelid with ...
Mother Nature is an artist, but her craft of creating animal faces requires more than a paintbrush and palette. Such highly complex shapes originate from their respective transient neural crest cells.
Axolotls (Ambystoma mexicanum) are a critically endangered species of salamander. The species has only one natural habitat remaining, a series of canals in Mexico City, and only 50 to 1,000 axolotls are estimated to be left ...
Some stem cells have a natural ability to divide into more cells and develop into various specialized blood, bone or muscle cells. These pluripotent stem cells offer great promise for new cell treatments and regenerative ...
Branching patterns are prevalent in our natural environment and the human body, such as in the lungs and kidneys. For example, specific genes that express growth factor proteins are known to influence the development of the ...
Near the entrance to Michael Levin's lab at Tufts, four deer antlers are mounted on wooden boxes. They represent an incredible feat of regeneration in mammals: Deer shed their antlers annually and regrow the bone, blood vessels, ...
In a recent study led by Associate Professor Yoshinori Yoshida (Department of Cell Growth and Differentiation) and published in Communications Biology, a team of researchers identified CD151 as a marker for distinguishing ...
One of the primary goals in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is the development of artificial scaffolds that can serve as substitutes for damaged tissue. These materials must ideally resemble natural ...
As we age, our hematopoietic (blood-forming) stem cells (HSCs) become less able to produce new red and white blood cells and other vital blood components鈥攃ontributing to chronic inflammation and accelerating the onset of ...
