Plant stem cells, as in animals, are maintained in specialized microenvironments, which are known as stem cell niches, where local signals from organizer cells act to prevent stem cell differentiation ...

Scientists at EPFL have created a scalable 3D organoid model that captures key features of early limb development, revealing ...

Coaxing iPS cells in the laboratory to become more-specialized progeny cells (a cellular process called differentiation) before transplantation into mice allows them to be tolerated by the body's ...

The function of sparse population of inhibitory neurons in memory encoding has been explained in a new article. The study focused on identifying the synaptic connections between inhibitory PV-INs, ...

In a paper published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, optometrist Holly Chinnery and her colleagues at the University of Melbourne challenged this consensus by reporting the ...

Specialized cells that conduct electricity to keep the heart beating have a previously unrecognized ability to regenerate in the days after birth, a new study in mice by UT Southwestern researchers ...

May 12 (UPI) --To the surprise of scientists, new research showed stem cells in plants and animals behave similarly. "The plant and animal kingdoms were separated through evolution more than 1.6 ...

Drexel University computational biologists have helped to create the first “anatomic atlas” of B-cell clone lineages, their properties and tissue connections. The researchers revealed that the ...
