The current method to create a chimeric murine embryo involves engrafting cells from a separate donor embryo. But, in December 10 online Nature Genetics, Pentao Liu and colleagues at The National ...

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 ...

As blood stem cells age, their lysosomes become overactive and damaged, triggering inflammation and weakening the body’s ...

From slow alchemy to programmable timelines For most of the past decade, turning adult cells into induced pluripotent stem cells has felt like biological alchemy, with scientists nudging cultures ...

Stem cells offer an extraordinary toolkit for science and medicine. Researchers are getting better at turning these ...

This Brush Up is sponsored by Cayman Chemical. Learn more about chemical inhibitors of histone modification. Histone modification affects how tightly DNA wraps around histone proteins, yielding ...

N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most abundant internal modification in eukaryotic mRNA, serves as a pivotal epitranscriptomic ...

Stem cells can fight disease from the inside out. But not all treatments are created equal. By Mohana Ravindranath The promise of stem cell therapy is powerful. Scientists can draw versatile cells ...
