Researchers identified GSK3α as a key checkpoint controlling stem cell identity across multiple cell types. Inhibiting it ...

Thyroid development represents a complex orchestration of cellular migration, differentiation and folliculogenesis, all of which are tightly regulated by an interplay of signalling pathways and ...

For stem cells to differentiate into the appropriate cell-type, transcription factors (TFs) must be tailored to highly specific expression patterns of lineage-specific genes. Abnormalities in the ...

Understanding how cells transform into specialized types during human development is a central challenge in biology. This complex process, known as cell differentiation, holds the key to understanding ...

Every second, an adult generates around five million new blood cells to replace aging or dying ones, making the blood system a highly regenerative organ. These new blood cells are formed in the bone ...

Northeastern University scientists have discovered that a protein in the human brain could potentially be used to grow new neurons in the lab and enhance brain processes affected by aging or ...

A review in the Chinese Journal of Natural Medicines examines how natural products can improve the in vivo fate of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), with potential benefits for cell homing, survival, ...
