A new cellular atlas charts, in unprecedented detail, how human B cells are built step by step — and offers a window into how this developmental process goes awry in leukemia. The KAUST-led ...

The development of humans and other animals unfolds gradually over time, with cells taking on specific roles and functions via a process called cell fate determination. The fate of individual cells, ...

A 'pocket' on the protein cyclin B is responsible for ensuring that the steps of cell division take place in the correct order. Cell division is key for life. Every organism -- from the smallest yeast ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four ...

A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — plays a vital, overlooked role in the first steps of life. Each of us starts ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important type of human immune cell—known as helper T cells—from stem cells in a ...
