For the first time, a stem cell model has produced a structure resembling an early human embryo with a yolk-sac-like structure, from a single starting stem cell population and without direct genetic ...

Researchers at LMU have developed a human cell model that replicates key mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases—with ...

Every cell in a body contains the same genetic sequence, yet each cell expresses only a subset of those genes. These cell-specific gene expression patterns, which ensure that a brain cell is different ...

The model demonstrates never-before-seen potential in human pluripotent stem cells Key takeawaysFor the first time, stem cells typically considered ...

A new method developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions allows researchers to better understand ...

A new biochemical method identifies RNA 3D structures and protein binding sites in cells. It reveals how RNA folding drives ...

In about one out of every 1,000 pregnancies, the neural tube, a key nervous system structure, fails to close properly.

How does the neural tube close? A new study uses physics-based modeling to reveal the actin "purse-string" mechanism and cellular coordination that prevents spina bifida.
