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 ...

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 ...

Cell development, proliferation and death form a tightly interwoven continuum that underpins both normal physiology and disease. At its core, the orchestration of the cell cycle ensures that cells ...
