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—different 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 ...
Materials scientists at UNSW Sydney have shown that human pluripotent stem cells in a lab can initiate a process resembling the gastrulation phase—where cells begin differentiating into new cell types—much earlier than ...
RIKEN researchers have imitated the formation of organs in the lab by "hacking" certain signaling pathways that guide the development of connective tissues in the embryo, which support the formation of the liver, gut and ...
Using new machine learning techniques, researchers at UC San Francisco (UCSF), in collaboration with a team at IBM Research, have developed a virtual molecular library of thousands of "command sentences" for cells, based ...
A new Tel Aviv University study has discovered that the female locust has superpowers. The findings of the study reveal that the female locust's central nervous system has elastic properties, allowing her to stretch up to ...
Growing miniature organ-like tissues in the lab is already within our reach. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a new approach that enables intestinal mini-organs to be grown more easily and efficiently in the lab. ...
As any weekend warrior understands, cartilage injuries to joints such as knees, shoulders, and hips can prove extremely painful and debilitating. In addition, conditions that cause cartilage degeneration, like arthritis and ...
The animal kingdom exhibits a plethora of unique and surprising phenomena or abilities that include, for some animals, the ability to regenerate body parts irrespective of age. Now, researchers from Japan have discovered ...
