Stem cells are cells that have the capacity to self-renew by dividing and to develop into more mature, specialised cells. Stem cells can be unipotent, multipotent, pluripotent or totipotent ...

Stem-cell differentiation is the process by which a more specialised cell is formed from a stem cell, leading to loss of some of the stem cell's developmental potential. Stem-cell differentiation ...

Oct. 2, 2024 — Researchers have developed a solid electrolyte that could be a suitable material for all-solid-state batteries. Solid electrolyte composed of nanoparticles embedded in an ...

This applicant guidance provides information about the recruitment and allocation process for the specialised foundation programme (SFP) in England for 2025. In February 2024 NHS England (NHSE) ...

“For those considering a career change, QUT’s postgraduate engineering courses offer specialised qualifications in emerging fields such as advanced manufacturing, renewable power ...

Vaccines work by equipping our immune systems to fight an invading virus. When we get vaccinated against COVID-19, specialized immune cells known as B cells learn to recognize the virus. If we ...

Now, an international team of mathematicians has discovered a new class of shapes capable of tiling with a minimal amount of sharp corners, which they define as “soft cells.” Their findings ...

It “opens up a complete new avenue [to rescue] this magnificent species and icon of conservation,” and may suggest strategies for generating stem cells for other vulnerable and endangered species.

Several types of white blood cells are found in your body, each with specialized functions. The white blood cell count is a measure of the body’s immune system. When the white blood cell count is high ...

or what Khoshakhlagh calls “the genetic master knobs,” which act in concert to program cells to become a specialized cell type. The biotech is shortcutting the entire process, a streamlining ...

A new study has shed light on the challenges of converting one type of specialized cell into another, a process critical for advances in regenerative medicine. Despite recent progress in the field ...
