An international group of researchers has identified an important mechanism that enables stem cells to evade immune rejection. Their research, published in Nature, sheds light on how these specialized ...

Jennifer Zenker receives funding from NHMRC and Viertel Foundation. Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as “miracle” cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in ...

A study led by Umeå University, Sweden, presents new discoveries about how stem cells develop and transition into specialised cells. The discovery can provide increased understanding of how cells ...

Gut support cells communicate with surprising precision – like brain neurons – using tiny extensions to send instructions to the stem cells responsible for maintaining and healing the intestine. The ...

Crypt-base-columnar cells are continuously dividing intestinal stem cells that generate IECs, which are composed by distinct specialised cell types that play different functions: Enterocytes (in the ...

Scientists have made an important discovery about the relationship between hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and immune response evasion. Their findings show how certain HSCs have regulatory functions ...

Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as "miracle" cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in our bodies, promising revolutionary medical treatments. However, ...
