Researchers discover that the GPR3 receptor acts as an immediate-early gene to jumpstart neuron and synapse development.

The transition of a pluripotent stem cell into a differentiated lineage is one of the most complex yet precisely orchestrated events in developmental biology. A study now reveals that mechanical and ...

The process of renal cell differentiation is orchestrated by a dynamic interplay of transcription factors that guide progenitor cells into specialised nephron segments. During kidney development, ...

For stem cells to differentiate into the appropriate cell-type, transcription factors (TFs) must be tailored to highly specific expression patterns of lineage-specific genes. Abnormalities in the ...

Programmable recombinases let one cell produce multiple fates in preset ratios, enabling controlled division of labor, tunable traits, and engineered multicellular systems. (Nanowerk News) Cellular ...

Researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, have documented their use of a new RNA sequencing technology to uncover molecular ...

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 ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified the cellular mechanisms that cause immune cells to differentiate and ultimately lose function during viral infection, findings that could improve ...

“We were stuck in the mindset that glucose is an energy source and nothing else,” Stanford Medicine chairman of dermatology Dr. Paul Khavari said. His are the words that define the paradigm shift ...
