Researchers found that neural crest stem cells are uniquely capable of reprogramming, challenging current reprogramming ...

This work is an important contribution to understanding the role of FGF signaling in the induction of primitive-like cells in a 2D system of human gastrulation. The authors provide compelling evidence ...

Stem cells grown in microgravity aboard the International Space Station (ISS) have unique qualities that could one day help accelerate new biotherapies and heal complex disease, two Mayo Clinic ...

Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of mortality globally, encompassing a range of disorders that affect the heart and blood vessels, including but not limited to ischemic heart disease, ...

USC researchers found that a subset of blood stem cells influences immune aging by regulating the balance between innate and adaptive immune cells. When these cells overproduce innate immune cells, ...

After about 5 days, the embryos should reach the blastocyst stage, when they're a ball of about 200 to 300 cells. Then, they'll be ready to transfer. About half of embryos made using IVF reach ...

when a fertilized egg starts dividing and forming an early embryo (the blastocyst). These molecules help guide which cells will become the embryo and which will form the placenta and are thus ...
