Thyroid development represents a complex orchestration of cellular migration, differentiation and folliculogenesis, all of which are tightly regulated by an interplay of signalling pathways and ...

For stem cells to differentiate into the appropriate cell-type, transcription factors (TFs) must be tailored to highly specific expression patterns of lineage-specific genes. Abnormalities in the ...

The sugar glucose, which is the main source of energy in almost every living cell, has been revealed in a Stanford Medicine study to also be a master regulator of tissue differentiation — the process ...

When you were first conceived, you were a single cell. From this basic fact, we can extrapolate a few things, most especially that all the cells that make up your body today came (indirectly) from ...

Researchers from the University of Toronto (Canada) have presented a new high-resolution gene expression atlas that shows the normal differentiation process of hematopoietic cells at the American ...

Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In ...
