A rare way cells survive extreme stress has just been decoded, with implications reaching far beyond the animal kingdom.

From the moment an embryo starts to take shape, two-way communication is critical for making sure tissues and organs develop ...

Dlc1 deletion affects cardiac differentiation in mouse embryonic stem cells by activating the canonical Wnt pathway ...

For several years, researchers studied human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) to understand the unique features of these pluripotent cells, but on their own, they poorly resembled the complex structures ...

Jennifer Zenker receives funding from NHMRC and Viertel Foundation. Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as “miracle” cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in ...

When there’s nothing else to prescribe, hope works like a drug. A quadriplegic patient tells herself it’s not a matter of if they find a cure but when. Who’s to say whether salvation is still 10 or 15 ...

Researchers have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four weeks after fertilization. This is ...

Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as "miracle" cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in our bodies, promising revolutionary medical treatments. However, ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four ...
