These cells are known to respond to a variety of signaling pathways, but this study makes the case for BMP acting via binding to MuSK in maintaining the quiescent state. A central question in adult ...

We're all very complex organisms, made up of lots of different types of cells carrying out different jobs in our bodies; such as nerve cells, blood cells, fat cells and muscle cells. So, where do ...

Despite all that we know of the adult stem cell, we still know very little about how their age affects their differentiative capacity. The use of a pediatric stem cells in the repair of ...

In 2006, researchers introduced a method to reprogram adult cells into a pluripotent state. These induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) could then be coaxed to differentiate into different cell ...

Nirav and Kanan Chokshi were called separately to donate stem cells to adult leukaemia patients. The odds for a husband and ...

The average human body is composed of about 37.2 trillion cells, which is 300 times the number of stars in our galaxy. All our adult cells come from a single cell, called the fertilized egg (or ...

Techniques that cause multipotent adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to differentiate into cells of the chondrogenic lineage have led to a variety of experimental strategies to investigate ...

Nirav and Kanan Chokshi were called separately to donate stem cells to adult leukaemia patients in need of potentially ...
