A new study suggests Earth may have been sending tiny hitchhikers to Venus for billions of years. Researchers found that asteroid impacts could launch microbes into space, where some might survive the ...

We have identified the gene that, when activated, initiates the developmental programme that results in cells forming a human ...

Two opposing biological pathways balance stem cell maintenance with skin development; topical drug treatments targeting them may treat skin cancers and disorders.

Human skin is constantly rebuilding itself. Every few weeks, the outermost layers shed and are replaced by new cells pushed up from the base. For decades, scientists believed this renewal depended ...

A man and a woman with a rare and devastating autoimmune disease have been in remission for more than 15 years after ...

In a paper published in Cell, a USC Stem Cell-led team reports a new way of generating a renewable and expandable supply of ...

Newly found immune cells called ‘ruptoblasts’ explode when triggered, ejecting toxic chemicals capable of delivering death to surrounding cells in just minutes. The cells’ discoverers say that this ...

Targeted genomic integration of gene-sized cassettes into hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) for genetic disease treatment is constrained by the low efficiency of homology-directed repair ...
