Cell types can be organized into related families, but the regulatory mechanisms that define and maintain these families across deep evolutionary time remain unknown. Here, combin ...

A KAUST-led team has developed the AI tool Unify to help scientists compare similar cell types across distant species. This comparison can help researchers assess which findings from animal studies ...

As an embryo develops from a small cluster of stem cells, those once "blank slate" cells begin to take on more specialized roles like brain, liver or muscle cells and organize themselves into ...

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in women. It is a highly variable disease, defined as a malignancy of the epithelial ducts in breast tissue.

A team that includes Shaun Mahony, professor of biochemistry and molecular biology, has received a $3.8 million grant from ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

A large, multi-study single-cell atlas of the human prefrontal cortex across the lifespan maps cell-type–specific gene activity to show how aging and disease reshape neural cells, highlighting ...

They outperformed a single-target version in mice, a lab-grown mini blood vessel and artery tissue from heart disease patients.

Cell therapy is an advanced biomedical approach that utilizes living cells as therapeutic agents to treat disease or repair tissue. 4 Scientists isolate cells from a patient or a healthy donor and ...
