During development, stem and progenitor cells gradually commit to differentiation pathways. Cell fate decisions are regulated by differentiation factors, which activate transcription programmes ...

Translation of human pluripotent stem cells into cell therapies will require the ... a defined method of differentiation and validated testing methods to ensure that the product is consistent ...

Scientists have identified a previously unknown type of neural stem cell (pNSC) that exists outside the brain and spinal cord ...

The identification of peripheral neural stem cells could transform the treatment of Parkinson's disease and spinal cord ...

The nucleus of a germline stem cell undergoes two divisions, firstly separating homologous chromosomes and secondly separating chromatids. Haploid gametes contain 23 single chromosomes.

For decades, scientists assumed that neural stem cells (NSCs) only occur in the brain and spinal cord. A new international ...

We investigate how stem cells perceive environmental changes and determine their cell fate, and how niches form and remodel the local environment during lung development, regeneration and disease ...

The scientists, for example, examine how cells in the heart, blood vessel or lung tissue communicate with each other, and which signal molecules influence their function. They also look into the ...

Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent. This means that all of the genes in an embryonic stem cell can be expressed so they can give rise to all types of cell. They are important for growth.

The detection of peripheral neural stem cells could transform the treatment of Parkinson's disease and spinal cord injuries ...

Director, Paediatrics, Jaslok Hospital & Research Centre explains how stem cell therapy and regenerative medicine have the ...

"Both types of HSCs thrived in our gold-standard stem cell experiment, but the lung HSC colonies made more red blood cells ...
