Understanding how cells transform into specialized types during human development is a central challenge in biology. This complex process, known as cell differentiation, holds the key to understanding ...

Spurred by the discoveries of human pluripotent stem cell culture by James Thomson in the 1990s and the induction of pluripotency from adult cells by Shinya Yamanaka in the 2000s, therapeutics derived ...

All cells in the body arise from a single fertilized egg. From this single origin, various specialized cells with widely differing tasks evolve through a process called cellular differentiation.

The sugar glucose, which is the main source of energy in almost every living cell, has been revealed in a Stanford Medicine study to also be a master regulator of tissue differentiation - the process ...

Researchers from the University of Toronto (Canada) have presented a new high-resolution gene expression atlas that shows the normal differentiation process of hematopoietic cells at the American ...

Metabolic diseases such as obesity, fatty liver, and insulin resistance are rapidly increasing worldwide, but fundamental ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one of the few brain cell types that continue to be produced in the adult ...

A new study led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, its Bloomberg~Kimmel Institute for Cancer ...

Glucose is life's main energy source. But a new study reveals a surprising role as a master manipulator of tissue maturation, hinting at its importance in diabetes and cancer. The sugar glucose, which ...

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the specific destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic ...
