A study published in Cell Research advances a central idea in stem cell biology by identifying a checkpoint that controls the identity of many different types of stem cells across developmental stages ...

When many cancers advance, spread and reoccur, checkpoint inhibitors can help keep difficult tumors at bay. These antibody-based immunotherapies can restore the body’s ability to recognize and ...

Cell division during the early stage of embryo development is a trade-off between speed and accuracy; the cells need to divide quickly to enable rapid growth, but it's important not to introduce ...

In a new paper published in Cancer Research, researchers at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center have shown that targeting a protein called TACC3 (transforming acidic coiled-coil containing protein 3) can ...

Researchers use a light-activated protein to illuminate when embryos can cope with disruptions to cell division.Cell division ...
