Northeastern University scientists have discovered that a protein in the human brain could potentially be used to grow new neurons in the lab and enhance brain processes affected by aging or ...

Stem cells are the original cell type from which all other cells and tissues in the body develop through a very tightly regulated process. However, how stem cells differentiate in addition to ...

All human pluripotent stem cell studies were carried out in accordance with consent from the University of Queensland’s Institutional Human Research Ethics approval (HREC# 2015001434).

Ageing and cancer are often seen as divergent tissue fates. In our study, we identify a protective programme, called senescence-coupled differentiation (or seno-differentiation), that eliminates ...

Researchers from The University of Osaka find that the zinc finger proteins RLF and ZFP292 assist in stabilizing the CoREST corepressor complex at gene promoters in embryonic stem cells, preventing ...

All cells in the body arise from a single fertilized egg. From this single origin, various specialized cells with widely differing tasks evolve through a process called cellular differentiation.

Stem cells can self-renew and differentiate into a wide variety of cell types, making them critical components in embryonic development. In adults, stem cell populations, such as those in the ...
