There is a high unmet need for accessible, affordable, and high-quality fertility care, as approximately 1 in 6 people are affected by infertility worldwide. While meiotic failure is a major cause of ...

Researchers found stem cells and early descendants share RNA profiles, but differ in active gene production. Independent ...

A study published in Cell Research advances a central idea in stem cell biology by identifying a checkpoint that controls the identity of many ...

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 ...

Two distinct stem cell lineages that drive tooth root and alveolar bone formation have been identified by researchers from Science Tokyo. Using genetically modified mice and lineage-tracing techniques ...

Our blood consists of many cell types that develop through different stages from a precursor type -- the blood stem cell. An international research team has now investigated the developmental pathways ...

Creating artificial systems that mimic the functioning of cells is one of the goals of what is known as synthetic biology.
