The (a) intestine, (b) esophagus and (c) stomach are shown. Quiescent stem cells (d) through asymmetric division probably give rise to more rapidly dividing active stem cells, which then produce ...

How are induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells different from embryonic stem (ES) cells? What can we use iPS cells for? ES cells were originally derived from the inner cell mass (ICM) or epiblast of ...

Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost ...

The study investigates the role of autophagy in hepatic progenitor cells (HPCs) and its potential to modulate exosomal ...

Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost identical cells perform such different functions? The key lies in the ...

Astrocytes in the brain exhibit significant regional diversity, but the mechanisms controlling their heterogeneity remain ...

A new study sheds light on why certain oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) in the adult brain transform into gliomas, the most common and incurable type of adult brain tumors.

Researchers showed that experimentally induced lack of blood flow in the brain epigenetically reprograms astrocytes into ...

The most common type of primary brain tumor is the glioma ... Similarly, cells that imitate neuron progenitor cells were found in the parts of the tumor that penetrated healthy brain tissue, just as ...

Raquel Espin Palazon discovered that inflammatory signaling pathways must switch on for embryos to produce blood stem cells.

MIT researchers report that fasting aids in the regeneration and healing of intestinal stem cells in mice, but also increases ...
