Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are the cornerstone of lifelong blood formation, arising during embryogenesis from specialised endothelial precursors in a process known as the ...

Stem cells work throughout our lives as a sort of handyman, repairing damaged tissues and renewing some normal ones, like the skin we shed. Scientists have come to understand much about how stem cells ...

Researchers at Kumamoto University have achieved a groundbreaking advancement in stem cell biology by reproducing the developmental process of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in vitro. This culture ...

When do peripheral nerves develop? Researchers used "mosaic barcodes" to prove that neural crest cells commit to their ...

A study published in Cell Research advances a central idea in stem cell biology by identifying a checkpoint that controls the ...

A study in mice has found that maternal gut microbiome composition during pregnancy has long-term effects on offspring stem cell growth and development. The researchers, headed by Parag Kundu, PhD, at ...

The development of humans and other animals unfolds gradually over time, with cells taking on specific roles and functions via a process called cell fate determination. The fate of individual cells, ...

A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — plays a vital, overlooked role in the first steps of life. Each of us starts ...
