Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute, King’s College London and Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust have characterised a specialised type of immune cell, which plays a key role in ...

Drosophila melanogaster has long served as a powerful model for dissecting the principles of tissue homeostasis and regeneration. Within the adult midgut, intestinal stem cells (ISCs) perform the ...

Pituitary stem cell biology has emerged as a pivotal field in understanding the maintenance and regeneration of the neuroendocrine system. Research in this domain has illuminated the role of ...

The human small intestine absorbs nutrients while protecting us from potentially harmful microbes. One of the cell types that plays a key role in this protection is the microfold cell, or M cell.

The immune system is comprised of two separate active arms of immunity to provide robust protection against disease. The two separate systems of immunity include the innate and adaptive immune ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Using a new method to isolate and reprogram plant cells into other cell types, biologists explored how banding patterns that increase the stability of plant cell walls are created and how their ...
