In a step towards personalized bone grafts to treat traumatic injury or congenital defects, a study, led by Darja Marolt, PhD, and Giuseppe Maria de Peppo, PhD, and published in...
As stem cells mature into other cell types, a process known as differentiation, they undergo key molecular-level changes. To understand the regulatory mechanisms that govern this...
Reprogramming, or reverting, adult cells into an embryonic-like state is a dynamic process: some cells retain their adult cell features whereas others become fully pluripotent, indicating...
Led by Douglas Melton, PhD, Harvard Stem Cell Institute Principal Faculty member and NYSCF Medical Advisory Board Executive Committee member, a new Cell study identifies a hormone in...
The brain, dense with neurons, translates external stimuli into behavioral responses and learned memories, and just how this information is decoded can mean the difference between...
