Pituitary stem cell biology has emerged as a pivotal field in understanding the maintenance and regeneration of the neuroendocrine system. Research in this domain has illuminated the role of ...

Researchers have identified an unexpected mechanism that links age-related stress to the decline of blood-forming stem cells.

For the first time, a stem cell model has produced a structure resembling an early human embryo with a yolk-sac-like structure, from a single starting stem cell population and without direct genetic ...

A study published in Cell Research advances a central idea in stem cell biology by identifying a checkpoint that controls the identity of many different types of stem cells across developmental stages ...

Stem cells in most organisms typically take cues from adjacent cells. But new research from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research has found that stem cells in the freshwater planarian Schmidtea ...

For the first time, a stem cell model has produced a structure resembling an early human embryo with a yolk-sac-like ...

The first-year introductory biology sequence provides a crucial foundation for students' careers. Some groups, such as first-generation college students (FGCS), lag behind their non-first-generation ...
