For example, the endothelial tissue that lines the human gastrointestinal tract consists of several cell types. Some of these cells absorb nutrients from the digestive contents, whereas others ...

Northeastern University scientists have discovered that a protein in the human brain could potentially be used to grow new ...

During both development and homeostasis, cellular differentiation generates diverse cell types without altering genomic content. These cell fate transitions are orchestrated by rapid and precise ...

cell differentiation and organismal development, responses to cell stress and nutritional requirements, and programmed cell death. Specialized training in signal transduction and cellular regulation ...

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 ...

This study fills a crucial gap in our understanding of blood cell formation from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). Genome-wide comparisons of hPSC-derived blood progenitor cells with in vivo blood ...
