Researchers use an unprecedented stem cell zoo to study developmental time

In humans, pregnancy lasts around nine months. In mice, only 20 days, and in rhinoceroses, as long as 17 months. Although many mammalian species go through the same stages during embryo development, the speed of development differs substantially across animals.

Scientists uncover key molecular culprit in ALS: PEG10 gene implicated in pathogenesis

UBQLN2 dysfunction in ALS leads to elevated PEG10 levels, suggesting a role for retrotransposon activity in the disease. PEG10's nuclear localization alters gene expression involved in axon remodeling, implicating it as a contributing mechanism in ALS.

Combination of genetic and environmental factors increases the risk of cleft lip

A cleft lip or palate arises from the combined effects of genes and inflammatory risk factors experienced during pregnancy, such as smoking or infections, finds a new study led by UCL researchers.

Mount Sinai announces creation of the Institute for Regenerative Medicine

Regenerative medicine-; the process of replacing, engineering or regenerating human cells, tissues or organs-; holds exciting potential for the field of health care.

24 Apr 2023

Creation of embryo-like structures from monkey embryonic stem cells for the first time

Human embryo development and early organ formation remain largely unexplored due to ethical issues surrounding the use of embryos for research as well as limited availability of materials to study.

Embryonic stem cells used to recreate thyroid cancer histotypes

A recent Nature Communications study revealed the recapitulating capacity of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) to elucidate the cellular hierarchy of the thyroid gland. Furthermore, these cells possessed the capacity to reproduce the oncogenic process using the CRISPR-based genetic editing method.
