There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...
What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are linked to many diseases. Until now, the genetic basis ...
Allan Albig receives funding from the National Institute of Health. Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside ...
How do stem cells know what to become? Nearly three decades after scientists isolated the first human embryonic stem cells, researchers are still working hard to understand precisely how a single, ...
Researchers have developed a method to direct stem cells to form specific structures. By triggering the expression of specific genes in mouse embryonic stem cells, synthetic organizer cells were ...
A novel 3D cell culture method has been developed that encourages liver progenitor cells to self-organize and form blood vessel networks for the first time. The development of accurate liver organoids ...
Blood usually falls into a few widely recognized categories or types, based on the proteins that are expressed on the surface of red blood cells. For example, A or B antigens may be present there, ...
A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...
