A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — ...

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 ...

The first complete DNA methylation atlas of 39 human cell types reveals which genes can talk or are silenced, depending on whether their sequence is linked to methyl group epigenetic modification that ...

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.

Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) find it harder to get pregnant, have more frequent miscarriages and have a higher ...

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

Using CRISPR-based engineering methods to prompt stem cells to organize into embryo-like structures, scientists were able to create 'programmable' cellular models of embryos without ever experimenting ...

Scientists have developed a breakthrough technique to directly convert skin cells into neurons, bypassing the need for stem ...

Scientists found that aggressive lung cancer cells create their own electrical network, helping them spread. This unique ...

With the theoretical part extended, this paper would be of interest to cell biologists and biophysicists working on asymmetric partitioning during cell division. Asymmetric partition of fate ...
