Cell Differentiation’s Key Regulator has been discovered
Embryonic stem cells and other pluripotent cells divide fast and can differentiate into practically any cell type in the body. Scientists have long attempted to…

How a Protein Regulates Nerve Cell Development in the Brain
Neurons, or nerve cells, connect with one another via contact points known as synapses. When these connections are broken, communication breaks down, and the messages…
Metabolism has been discovered to Regulate Killer Cell Production
Researchers have discovered that metabolic changes influence the formation of blood cells during embryonic development. They discovered a previously unknown metabolic switch that plays an…
How Sound Waves could help to turn Stem Cells into Bone Cells?
Sound waves were used by researchers to convert stem cells into bone cells, in a tissue engineering breakthrough that could one day help patients regrow…
Discovery of a New Stem Cell Opens up new way for studying Human Genome’s Awakening
Researchers have discovered a new type of stem cell that resembles cells in the early human embryo during the ‘genomic power transition’ from mother to…
Encrypting Differentiation Information using Molecular Morse Code in Stem Cells
Should you divide, differentiate, or die? Making decisions at the right time and place defines a cell’s behavior, which is especially important for stem cells…
Some Heart Tissue can be Regenerated by Mechanical Hearts
The human heart is the first organ to develop, and its development is fairly well documented. In theory, the heart can regenerate because its cardiomyocytes…
Obese People with Lucky Genes may be Protected from Certain Diseases
While anyone with a BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese, two people with the same BMI can have very different amounts of fat,…
The Effect of Toxic Goiter on the Brain has recently been discovered
Toxic nodular goiter is characterized by an enlarged thyroid gland containing a small rounded mass or masses known as nodules that produce an excessive amount…
Foamy Cells Stir a more Accurate way to Predict Heart Attacks
Foam cells are a type of macrophage that resides in fatty deposits on blood artery walls, where they consume low-density lipoproteins and become lipid-laden, giving…
