A high hemoglobin A1C, or A1C, shows your body has difficulty regulating glucose levels. When your A1C is too high, you are at greater risk of diabetes complications such as kidney disease, ...

Anemia Deficiency in the concentration of erythrocytes and/or hemoglobin concentration; further defined as a hematocrit or hemoglobin greater than 2 standard deviations below the mean for age and ...

A team of stem cell scientists have successfully used embryonic stem cell engineering to create a bi-paternal mouse—a mouse with two male parents—that lived until adulthood. Their results ...

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs), which are characterized by the capacity for self-renewal and pluripotency, hold great promise for regenerative medicine. Increasing evidence points to the essential role ...

One of the most significant events during early embryonic development is the establishment of a basic embryonic body plan, which is defined by anteroposterior, dorsoventral (DV), and left-right axes.

We here developed tiv-AFM, combining time-lapse in vivo atomic force microscopy with upright fluorescence imaging of embryonic tissue, to show that during development local tissue stiffness changes ...

Flatworms owe their regenerative abilities to adult stem cells called neoblasts. Like embryonic stem cells, neoblasts can replicate themselves and they can develop into any type of cell found in an ...
