Our body's "blood factory" consists of specialized tissue made up of bone cells, blood vessels, nerves and other cell types.

Understanding how bone marrow produces blood–and how this whole process can fail–is critical to fighting blood cancers and ...

Researchers led by a team from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel have just discovered a way to destroy harmful ...

Explore the crucial BMP signaling pathways (Bone Morphogenetic Proteins) that govern fundamental processes in cellular ...

Growing from a single cell into a complex organism with specialized tissues and organs requires a complex and coordinated process.

Scientists have discovered a new mechanism by which web-like DNA structures called neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs)—a bacteria-fighting weapon in the immune system’s arsenal—provoke the onset of ...

Scientists have gained new insight into how both early embryonic cells and embryonic stem cells are directed into becoming specialized cell types, like pancreatic and liver cells. Scientists at the ...

Researchers have identified the mechanism behind red blood cell specialization and revealed that it is controlled by an enzyme called UBE2O. This finding could spark the development of new treatments ...

The point when human embryonic stem cells irreversibly commit to becoming specialised has been identified by researchers at the Francis Crick Institute. Our biological history can be traced back to a ...

Scientists at the University of Copenhagen have gained new insight into how both early embryonic cells and embryonic stem cells are directed into becoming specialised cell types, like pancreatic and ...
