The development of humans and other animals unfolds gradually over time, with cells taking on specific roles and functions ...

A new study published in Nature Biotechnology shows that stem cell differentiation is linked to cellular structures called P-bodies, providing a potential means of controlling cell identity.

A cell can act in astonishingly complex ways. It must decide for itself whether to grow and multiply, rest, specialise, age or die. This applies just as much to mammalian cells as it does to seemingly ...

Shedding light on what determines how cells become what they are meant to be—nerves, bone, muscles, etc.—can also help researchers understand how diseases develop when these biological programs break ...

Mitochondria play a crucial role in acquiring pluripotency and determining cell fate. The mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPR mt) serves as an important retrograde regulatory pathway that ...

Human cells decode dynamics Wnt signals using an anti-resonant filter that suppresses intermediate-frequency inputs and is ...

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center and the University of Oxford have found that a cellular housekeeping function called autophagy—by which cell components are broken down and recycled—plays a ...

Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) possess the unique dual properties of unlimited self-renewal and differentiation potential into all cell types of the body. The Company’s proprietary iPSC ...
