Craniofacial birth defects, including cleft lip and palate, are among the most common human congenital malformations. These craniofacial anomalies occur because of defects in neural crest cells, whose role is to give rise ...
As time passes and we get older, many cells need to replenish themselves. They do so by dividing into new cells: Heart cells, skin cells and so on.
Computer software developed at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis can predict what happens to complex gene networks when individual genes are missing or dialed up more than usual. Such genetic networks ...
How do you build complex structures for housing cells using a material as soft as Jell-O? Rice University scientists have the answer, and it represents a potential leap forward for regenerative medicine and medical research ...
You might think that only DC Comics superhero The Flash could run at a speed of 200 strides per second. But in the animal world, special muscles鈥攃alled "superfast muscles"鈥攃an move as fast as Barry Allen.
The transport of mercury ions across intestinal epithelial cells can be studied for toxicology assessments by using animal models and static cell cultures. However, the concepts do not reliably replicate conditions of the ...
Scientists have discovered a way to train healthy immune cells to acquire the skills of some tumor cells鈥攂ut for a good purpose鈥攖o accelerate diabetic wound healing. This remarkably promising finding, recently published ...
Researchers from Indiana University School of Medicine have discovered a molecular "clamping" mechanism within a male-specific protein-DNA complex whose mutation causes sex reversal: children with XY chromosomes but female ...
A study published in the journal Stem Cells Reports reveals that a cellular reprogramming methodology allows the creation of neural networks that reproduce unique characteristics of human cells鈥攄ifferent to those obtained ...
Researchers at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), ICREA, CIBERNED, CNIC and Altos Labs, among other national and international collaborators, have characterized how damaged cells (senescent cells) that inevitably arise after ...
