Researchers uncover a surprising property of blood stem cells

A Franco-German research team led by Prof. Michael Sieweke, from the Center for Regenerative Therapies TU Dresden and the Center of Immunology of Marseille Luminy, today uncovered a surprising property of blood stem cells: not only do they ensure the continuous renewal of blood cells and contribute to the immune response triggered by an infection, but they can also remember previous infectious encounters to drive a more rapid and more efficient immune response in the future.

Changes in cell death patterns in the nervous system could allow a species to adapt to its environment

According to research conducted in fruit flies at the Francis Crick Institute, the University of Lausanne (UNIL) and the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology, zombie cells tend to develop into functional neurons when the death of neurons is stopped during brain growth.

Study finds impact of specific gene on neurodevelopment, causing ASD and macrocephaly

During the developmental phase of brains, a number of moving parts occur—and if mutations occur during the early neurodevelopment, it can result in disorders such as autism and macrocephaly.
