New guidelines to generate high-quality, well-structured organoids

Researchers have opened a new avenue for investigations of neurological development, disease, and therapies that cannot be undertaken in living people by employing stem cells to grow small brain-like structures in the lab.

Key regulator of cell differentiation discovered

Embryonic stem cells and other pluripotent cells divide rapidly and have the capacity to become nearly any cell type in the body.

Researchers elucidate how early embryo cells begin to independently produce proteins

It happens in the first hours after fertilization: The cells of the early embryo begin to independently produce proteins, the building blocks for cells and organs.

Study findings greatly expand the ability to engineer long-range genome edits

Researchers discovered the potential of CRISPR, a tool used by bacteria to defend themselves against viral intruders, nearly a decade ago.

Key networks controlling pluripotency and apoptosis during development revealed

During the early stages of human embryonic development, a small collection of cells called human embryonic stem cells co-ordinates growth and differentiation finally giving rise to highly specialized human tissues.

Novel mechanism sheds light on embryonic stem cell pluripotency

A group of scientists from Sweden recently pinpointed a cellular mechanism that is vital for the ability of these cells to remain as stem cells.

Study reveals molecular mechanisms involved in the maintenance of naïve embryonic stem cells

Researchers have explained mechanisms that play a role in maintaining the embryonic stem cells in the most optimized state for use in regenerative medicine.

Study outlines transient prospective stages in development of neural crest cells

Last year, researchers at the University of California, Riverside, identified the early origins of neural crest cells -- embryonic cells in vertebrates that travel throughout the body and generate many cell types -- in chick embryos.

Study reveals proteins that enable SINEUPs to increase protein production

Scientists from an international group led by the RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Sciences and Yokohama City University have discovered that a pair of proteins play a key role in allowing an important type of functional non-coding RNA, known as SINEUPs, to act to promote their target messenger RNA.
