Engineers craft the basic building block for electrospun nanofibers
Electrospinning uses electric fields to manipulate nanoscale and microscale fibers. The technique is well-developed but time-intensive and costly. A team […]

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is no longer a death sentence, yet a cure remains elusive. While current therapies can […] Most patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia can be treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors. These drugs are highly effective and lead […] Cells in humans and other vertebrates, as well as invertebrates, have signaling pathways that play essential roles in embryo development, […] Our brain comprises 85 billion nerve cells and just as many so-called glial cells, which work in close contact with […] Scientists at the University of Bath have identified how a mutant gene in fish is involved in controlling stem cells. […] Rotator cuff tears are common injuries, and proper healing of the shoulder muscle is often difficult. “Chronic tears often result […] Healthy white blood cells, called “T-cells,” play a crucial role in how the body fights follicular lymphoma. That’s according to […] Traditional cell biology textbooks say that most cells can only differentiate to the same cell type, with the same function. […] An antibody-based treatment can gently and effectively eliminate diseased blood-forming stem cells in the bone marrow to prepare for the […]
New method drives cellular HIV reservoirs to self-destruct
How ‘sleeper cell’ cancer stem cells are maintained in chronic myelogenous leukemia: This knowledge offers a strategy to target and eliminate these persistent leukemic stem cells
Chemical probe can regulate signaling pathway and block cell invasion by arboviruses: Dysregulation of the signaling pathway known as the beta-catenin-dependent Wnt can also cause embryo malformation and contribute for the development of breast and cervical cancer.
Discovery of the genetic ‘conductor’ of brain stem cells: A new study identifies the gene which regulates the production ratio of neurons and support cells during cerebral cortex development
Turning them on, turning them off — how to control stem cells: Scientists have identified how a mutant gene in fish is involved in controlling stem cells
