Understanding stem cells

A clear introduction to stem cells, how they can develop into different cell types, and why scientists study them for ...
Sickle cell disease—the subject of a new Seminar in The Lancet—is one of the most prevalent and fastest-growing genetic disorders worldwide. Although its true prevalence is difficult to determine ...
Macrophages are central to mechanobiology research: their physical characteristics-stiffness, adhesion, and ECM (extracellular matrix) sensing-are inextricably linked to their phenotypic polarization ...
How does a tiny cluster of cells become an embryo with a head, trunk, and tail? And how do thousands of genes coordinate this development? A new imaging method makes it possible to visualize the ...
Every year, thousands of people are blinded suddenly, like Durst, by injuries to their cornea, the dome-shaped lenses that cap each iris. These injuries are often debilitating. In the weeks after his ...
Cancer biology increasingly recognizes that cancer stem cells (CSCs) represent a critical subpopulation within tumors, marked by their self-renewal, ...
Dr Jitesh Neupane discusses his hematoids model and opportunities to study childhood blood disorders and future stem cell therapies.
Your skin is in a constant state of reinvention. Every month, your body sheds and regenerates its entire outer layer—a complete turnover powered by tiny, tireless stem cells. These same cells spring ...
