Until now, studying the genetic processes in cells required destroying them—making it impossible to observe these processes over extended periods of time. A team from the Technical University of ...

Collaborative research defines a novel approach to understanding how certain proteins called transcription factors determine which genetic programs will drive cell growth and maturation. The method, ...

As people age, so do their stem cells. Scientists have known for years that the stem cells that go on to become blood cells ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have identified genetic changes in blood stem cells from frequent blood donors that support the production of new, non-cancerous cells. Understanding the ...

Researchers at the Eye Genetics Research Unit at Children's Medical Research Institute (CMRI) are the first in the world to use stem cells to study one of the genetic causes of Leber Congenital ...

Aplastic anemia is a rare blood disorder in which patients cannot make enough blood cells. This life-threatening disease is a result of the immune system attacking blood stem cells. The condition has ...
