Cells contain a blueprint in the form of DNA that dictates what they can make. This blueprint is converted into a message (mRNA), which is then converted into a protein. Although DNA remains the same ...

A stem cell, by definition, must be able to self-replicate to make more stem cells and to differentiate into a mature cell type. They can be unipotent as in muscle cells and only differentiate into ...

A discovery, several years in the making, by a UB research team has proven that adult skin cells can be converted into neural crest cells (a type of stem cell) without any genetic modification, and ...

This Brush Up is sponsored by Cayman Chemical. Learn more about chemical inhibitors of histone modification. Histone modification affects how tightly DNA wraps around histone proteins, yielding ...

During radiotherapy, the most important dose-limiting factor is sensitivity of the normal tissue lying in the radiation field. This can result in organ damage or severe normal tissue reactions.

The 25-year-old woman is still making her own insulin a year after having gotten a transplant of her modified stem cells, scientists say. Reading time 2 minutes We might someday be able to have ...
