Lineage tracing in transgenic mice allows the study of stem, progenitor and cancer cells in their native environment and can give quantitative insight into cell behaviour. Experiments have two ...

She was treated at Johns Hopkins University, where a doctor named George Gey snipped cells from her cervix without telling her. Gey discovered that Lacks' cells could not only be kept alive ...

A new CRISPR-based method for tracing real-time cancer progression across thousands of cells has revealed novel insights into the rates, routes, and drivers of cancer metastasis. Using the lineage ...

which create between 100 to 200 billion new blood cells every day. Tracking every blood cell back to its original stem cell requires genetically modifying DNA. The researchers found that “DNA ...

Regenerative medicine researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a cell that replenishes adult heart muscle by using a new cell lineage-tracing technique they devised.

Lineage tracing, which is a fundamental approach in developmental biology, refers to tests used to map out the progeny – or descendants – of a given cell in an organism. Lineage tracing is ...
