What if the secret to curing baldness has been hiding in your hair all along? University of Virginia School of Medicine ...

This valuable work presents how PRDM16 plays a critical role during colloid plexus development, through regulating BMP signaling. Solid evidence supports the context-dependent gene regulatory ...

The chromatin-bound proteome of embryonic stem cells transitioning to 2C-like cells uncovers chromatin regulators involved in heterochromatin formation.

Cell-to-cell communication is essential throughout all forms and stages of life, and many communication mechanisms are well ...

Conventional human pluripotent stem cells at the primed pluripotent state are capable of generating all the embryonic ...

Extraembryonic trophoblast lineages constitute the placenta, and are essential for individual development. In human early embryo development, these cells can be generated from totipotent blastomeres.

A guardian molecule ensures that liver cells do not lose their identity. This has been discovered by researchers from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), the Hector Institute für Translational ...

Emerging findings suggest that viral DNA may play an important part in how embryos form, right after fertilization.

Scientists in China have manipulated embryonic stem cells to create laboratory mice with two male parents that managed to ...
