Conventional human pluripotent stem cells at the primed pluripotent state are capable of generating all the embryonic lineages. However, their ...

Extraembryonic trophoblast lineages constitute the placenta, and are essential for individual development. In human early embryo development, these cells can be generated from totipotent blastomeres.

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a promising new approach that could be used to treat a rare and ...

Scientist Sarallah Rezazadeh from the Icahn School of Medicine explores the molecular mechanisms behind adult stem cells as ...

When KAT6B was knocked out in embryonic stem cells, the cells showed diminished ... a tenure-track group leader in the Institute's Epigenetics research programme, commented: "Our research provides ...

Researchers have identified the molecular and cellular mechanisms that transform healthy stem cells into oral cancer ... promoted unrestrained cell proliferation by promoting epigenetic changes and ...

A study reveals DNA and RNA epigenetics work together as a complementary system for precise gene regulation, crucial for cell ...

As well as being essential in the precise packaging of DNA into the space of the nucleus, histone proteins are also the site ...

Scientists have discovered that neural stem cells (NSCs) receive constant feedback from their daughter cells, influencing whether they remain dormant or activate to form new neurons and glia.

A University of Ottawa neuroscientist has led a Canadian research team to reveal important new insights into the activation ...
