How does a tiny cluster of cells become an embryo with a head, trunk, and tail? And how do thousands of genes coordinate this development? A new imaging method makes it possible to visualize the ...

A chronological map of the fetal brain reveals when key cells emerge and provides clues about autism and cancer.

T cell development is a tightly regulated process that transforms immature thymocytes into mature T cells with distinct functionalities. In the thymus, precursor cells undergo a series of selection ...

The retina is a thin layer of neural tissue at the back of the eye that detects light and converts it into signals, sent to ...

A new study led by scientists from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and INSERM identified genes essential for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, including a gene linked to a previously ...

The new method offers researchers a powerful new platform to investigate the molecular mechanisms that control oogenesis, the process by which egg cells develop, and lays important groundwork for ...

Mammalian oocytes utilize a conserved combination of cell cycle control, cytoskeletal organization, and polarity pathways that are fundamentally shared with other vertebrates and invertebrates.

How do you currently identify and select cells for further growth, characterization and processing? Many available cell-selection technologies lack the sensitivity necessary to preserve cell health ...
