“During tissue formation, dynamic cell shape changes drive morphogenesis while asymmetric divisions create cellular diversity,” Herbert and Lovegrove said in a study recently published in Science.

those cells may then need a secondary inflammatory process to drive tumor formation. Knowledge about what pushes tumors to develop could be used for comprehensive personalized risk assessment ...

Le's research casts new light on follicle formation, showing that the bulge above the follicle's base develops from stem cells located closer to the skin's surface. Researchers found that stem ...

Stroke disrupts neuron formation from stem cells: Research reveals underlying mechanisms by Rimma Gerenstein, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau Editors' notes ...

Now, through extensive experiments, researchers have revealed a key role of EPHA2, a membrane protein, on stem cell function and tumor formation after PSC transplantation. Their findings could ...

A new study has shown that human T cells have an important role to play in controlling infection. Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a highly contagious and seasonal respiratory virus that ...

Cell-cell fusion leads to syncytial formation and has implications in pathogenesis, virus spread and immune evasion. Drugs that target these processes can be developed into anti-virals. Here, we have ...
