The development of humans and other animals unfolds gradually over time, with cells taking on specific roles and functions ...

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 ...

How do you currently identify and select cells for further growth, characterization and processing? Many available cell-selection technologies lack the sensitivity necessary to preserve cell health ...

GM announced on Friday that it’s ceasing work on next-generation fuel cell development through the HYDROTEC brand. HYDROTEC is the branding that GM has used previously for hydrogen fuel cell projects ...

During early development, tissues and organs begin to form through the shifting, splitting, and growing of many thousands of cells. A team of researchers headed by MIT engineers has now developed a ...

Two new landmark studies show how a seeming tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published March 3 as two papers in ...

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 ...

New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...
