T cell development is a tightly regulated process that transforms immature thymocytes into mature T cells with distinct functionalities. In the thymus, precursor cells undergo a series of selection ...

The curved shape of a zebrafish egg causes unequal cell divisions, creating larger cells near the animal pole and smaller ...

Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

Researchers from Kyushu University have developed an innovative computational method, called ddHodge, that can reconstruct ...

Descriptions of the embryo go back at least to the time of Aristotle, but it has only been since the late 19 th century and early 20 th century that advances in experimental approaches allowed ...

Understanding how these cells develop and function is like decoding a complex puzzle. "By perfecting stem cell methods that mimic the development of the normal blood stem cells found in our bodies we ...

Immune cells called B cells make antibodies that fight off invading bacteria, viruses and other foreign substances. During ...

The earliest days after fertilization, once a sperm cell meets an egg, are shrouded in scientific mystery. The process of how a humble single cell becomes an organism fascinates scientists across ...

The new method offers researchers a powerful new platform to investigate the molecular mechanisms that control oogenesis, the process by which egg cells develop, and lays important groundwork for ...

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center's Ludwig Center developed a new treatment that selectively targets ...
