Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand different types of nerve cell in the human brain according to the latest ...

Gene expression reveals that different types of human cell can work as a unit. These cellular modules, found in several tissues, change during disease. However, suitable computational methods are ...

Researchers from University of California San Diego have found that two of the most frequently administered stem cell therapies, which are often used interchangeably, actually contain completely ...

AN ADULT HUMAN body consists of some 37trn cells. Not so long ago, these were thought to come in 220 different types. That number, the product of painstaking decades spent peering through microscopes ...

One of the biggest quests in biology is understanding how every cell in an animal's body carries an identical genome yet ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far surpassing previous efforts that produced only a few dozen. By ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) have found that two of the most frequently administered stem cell therapies, which are often used interchangeably, actually contain ...

“Expression tells us what cells do, but regulatory DNA tells us where they come from, how they develop, and which germ layer ...

Researchers demonstrated that newly developed molecules designed to block an immune checkpoint can trigger a powerful immune response against tumors. Scientists at MIT and Stanford University have ...

Multipotent dental stem cells can give rise to various cell types and show potential for treating injuries, diabetes, and heart disease in early clinical trials.

Some types of sickle cell disease cause severe illness, while others have a mild or unapparent course. Sickle cell disease is present from birth and inherited from genes you receive from your parents.

Subtypes of basal cell carcinoma, the most common type of skin cancer, may differ in appearance, aggressiveness, treatment options, and who’s likely to develop them. Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the ...
