Researchers at Umeå University have contributed new insights into how cancer cells protect themselves from cell death.

In addition to endodermal and mesodermal cells, alcohol causes changes in DNA methylation in ectodermal cells (in blue), from which the nervous system and brain develop. During the tightly regulated ...

As described in research published today in Cell, the new model can be used to study the origin and function of the human amnion and help identify previously unknown ways the amniotic sac might ...

Chimpanzee naive pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) can now be grown in cellular cultures, reveals a recent study. They successfully created chimpanzee early embryo models, called 'blastoids,' and found ...

Researchers have mapped how "histone bivalency" acts as a molecular clock for brain development. By holding genes in a poised state, this mechanism ensures neurons mature only after completing ...
