Precision and timing of gene expression is essential for normal biological functions and, when disrupted, can lead to many ...

An international group of researchers has identified an important mechanism that enables stem cells to evade immune rejection. Their research, published in Nature, sheds light on how these specialized ...

Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. When the body encounters an infection, an army of immune cells is mobilized, each with a unique function. This includes the first ...

Typically, bone marrow research relies heavily on animal models and oversimplified cell cultures in the laboratory. Now, researchers from the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Basel and ...

The immune cell repertoire is composed of many different cell types that are orchestrated in response to infection and other pathogens that enter the body. As a result, the body can defend itself ...

Researchers have recreated a miniature human bone marrow system that mirrors the real structure found inside our bones. The model includes the full mix of cells and signals needed for blood production ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have made a significant discovery regarding the cultivation of ...

Researchers have developed mice with organs containing human cells, using a convenient and surprising approach — injecting the cells directly into the amniotic fluid of pregnant mice. The method ...
