From the moment an embryo starts to take shape, two-way communication is critical for making sure tissues and organs develop ...

The process behind embryonic diapause could explain how cancer cells can survive long periods of metabolic stress.

Transposable elements are stretches of DNA that can move around the genome. Many of these DNA sequences originate from long ...

Very small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs) are a rare and intriguing subpopulation of adult stem cells that exhibit molecular signatures reminiscent of embryonic stem cells. Identified in various ...

Researchers created the most detailed maps yet of the genome’s three-dimensional organization using human stem cells and ...

A new study from the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London, UK reveals how ancient viral DNA once written off as ...

Tiny sacs from embryonic stem cells kept older cells from aging in the lab, according to Cornell Chronicle. Cornell researchers found that extracellular vesicles stopped cells from entering senescence ...

Research shows synthetic chromosomes can be transferred to human cells with potential to improve viral resistance ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids but ...
