A new cellular atlas charts, in unprecedented detail, how human B cells are built step by step — and offers a window into how this developmental process goes awry in leukemia. The KAUST-led ...

The development of humans and other animals unfolds gradually over time, with cells taking on specific roles and functions via a process called cell fate determination. The fate of individual cells, ...

A new study led by scientists from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and INSERM identified genes essential for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, including a gene linked to a previously ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four ...

Spurred by the discoveries of human pluripotent stem cell culture by James Thomson in the 1990s and the induction of pluripotency from adult cells by Shinya Yamanaka in the 2000s, therapeutics derived ...

The human small intestine absorbs nutrients while protecting us from potentially harmful microbes. One of the cell types that plays a key role in this protection is the microfold cell, or M cell.

A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — plays a vital, overlooked role in the first steps of life. Each of us starts ...
