T cell development is a tightly regulated process that transforms immature thymocytes into mature T cells with distinct functionalities. In the thymus, precursor cells undergo a series of selection ...

The sugar glucose, which is the main source of energy in almost every living cell, has been revealed in a Stanford Medicine study to also be a master regulator of tissue differentiation - the process ...

Biomedical researchers discovered two proteins that differentiate stem cells into the components of blood vessels. This finding has implications for drug testing and other clinical applications. Blood ...

Over the past few decades, advances in hematology have illuminated how a delicate balance between stem cell self-renewal and differentiation sustains healthy blood formation. In myelodysplastic ...

Glucose is life's main energy source. But a new study reveals a surprising role as a master manipulator of tissue maturation, hinting at its importance in diabetes and cancer. The sugar glucose, which ...

The use of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has led to a paradigm shift in cellular immunotherapy. By reprogramming somatic cells into a pluripotent state, iPSCs represent a renewable source of ...
