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.

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

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

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

New research has investigated the mechanism by which bivalency functions to poise genes for expression during cell differentiation, providing insight into a long-standing paradigm in the regulation of ...

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

By activating a master epigenetic switch using CRISPR, naturally suppressed genes can be turned on, offering hope for ...

DNA from ancient viruses that form a part of the human genome may be contributing in the early development of an embryo in ...

Epigenetic regulation plays a crucial role in controlling gene expression, particularly in the context of stem cells and cancer. This regulation involves modifications to DNA and histones that do ...

Denise Richards' fortune is said to be in peril after her husband Aaron Phypers was slammed with a fraud lawsuit.
