In the past decade there has been significant interest in studying the expression of our genetic code down to the level of single cells, to identify the functions and activities of any cell through ...

Single cell gene expression studies often rely on single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) alone. While scRNA-seq reveals which genes are turned on, it does not capture protein expression or changes to ...

The blood-brain barrier protects the central nervous system by tightly regulating what crosses between the two compartments. Neurons are vulnerable if the barrier suffers damage or weakens with age, ...

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

Egg whites may be perfect for a health-conscious breakfast, but egg yolks turned out to be the key ingredient for cultivating bird embryonic stem cells (ESCs) in the lab. Using a growing medium of egg ...
