An explanation of how cells make up tissues which in turn make up organs. The diversity of cells in the human body is mentioned. Using muscle cells as an example, it is then explained how cells ...

and genome editing is fundamentally limited by the fact that it’s very hard to infer which genes to tweak, and how, to achieve desired complex anatomical outcomes. Similarly, stem cells generate the ...

survival of the cells in the circulation, arrest in a new organ, extravasation into the surrounding tissue, initiation and maintenance of growth, and vascularization of the metastatic tumour.

Recent research suggests that some of our cells and organs don’t completely shut down right away. In fact, a “third state” between life and death has been discovered, revealing that parts of ...

Immune cells called regulatory T cells have long been known for their role in countering inflammation. In the setting of ...

which stimulated and enabled the stem cells to grow into specific complex tissues and organ-like assemblies. The research was conducted with mouse embryonic stem cells, and the findings were ...

“One of the biggest surprises was finding that the immune system stimulates the production of the hormone glucagon by sending immune cells on a journey across different organs”. Once in the ...

Tissue processing advance can label proteins at the level of individual cells across whole, intact rodent brains and other large samples just as fast and uniformly as in dissociated single cells.
