The perspective of obtaining bona fide hepatocytes (liver cells) from pluripotent stem cells offers enormous potential as an alternative resource. However, there has not yet been sufficient research ...

Cells contain a blueprint in the form of DNA that dictates what they can make. This blueprint is converted into a message (mRNA), which is then converted into a protein. Although DNA remains the same ...

Stem cells possess the unique abilities of self-renewal and differentiation into various cell types, making them highly ...

Liver cells are indispensable for research— for drug testing, to better understand diseases such as hepatitis, fatty liver, cirrhosis, or liver cancer and for development of future cell therapies.

A discussion about the importance of instrumentation in geotechnical engineering would be incomplete without referring to ...

Mutations drive evolution, but they can also be risky. New research led by plant biologists at the University of California, ...

Trained immunity is reshaping our understanding of host defense by demonstrating that innate immune cells once thought to lack memory can be reprogrammed to mount heightened responses to subsequent ...
