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

Stem cells are precursors of a variety of different cells: They can turn into anything from blood to bone to muscle. Human blood stem cells, known as hematopoietic stem cells, are the forerunners of ...

The process of a single-celled zygote developing into a complex multicellular organism is precisely regulated at spatial and temporal levels in vivo. However, understanding the mechanisms underlying ...

In what he refers to as a "small step," an MU researcher has coaxed stem cells harvested from pig blood into becoming bone, blood vessel and neural cells. Elmer Price, a professor of biomedical ...

There’s unexpected movement in the world of cell biology — specifically, with the energy factories known as mitochondria. Ever since they were discovered in the mid-nineteenth century, mitochondria ...
