One of the biggest quests in biology is understanding how every cell in an animal's body carries an identical genome yet ...

Gene expression reveals that different types of human cell can work as a unit. These cellular modules, found in several tissues, change during disease. However, suitable computational methods are ...

Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School have developed two powerful computational tools that could transform how researchers ...

AN ADULT HUMAN body consists of some 37trn cells. Not so long ago, these were thought to come in 220 different types. That number, the product of painstaking decades spent peering through microscopes ...

Researchers have created a way to guide and control the development of stem cells into specific tissues and organs, opening the door to developing a means of one day tackling complex diseases like ...

A newly discovered cell that matures into two specialist cell types – an immune cell responsible for tissue repair and a cell that forms blood vessels – significantly boosts wound healing, according ...

WASHINGTON -- Adult blood stem cells were unable to transform into other types of tissue cells in a Stanford University study, raising new doubts about the eventual value of the cells in the treatment ...

Multipotent dental stem cells can give rise to various cell types and show potential for treating injuries, diabetes, and ...

Researchers have discovered a previously unknown type of connective tissue cells that surround cancer cells in pancreatic tumors. The newly discovered cells counteract tumor development and may ...

Dissociating tissues into single cells is a core laboratory technique and vital for widely used applications such as next-generation sequencing or flow cytometry. Scientists who employ tissue ...
