Researchers stumbled across the connection while searching for ways to reduce vision problems in people with achromatopsia.

A trio of papers provide new insight into embryo development.

Thousands of axons grew from the transplants and connected to damaged primate tissue, the first such demonstration in primates.

Adding or removing water changes how stem cells differentiate.

The International Human Epigenome Consortium presents a series of studies on how epigenetics influences immunity, cell lineage determination, and differentiation.

Since their introduction to the lab, pluripotent stem cells have gone from research tool to therapeutic, but the journey has been rocky.

Understanding interactions between the immune system and stem cells could pave the way for successful stem cell–based regenerative therapies.

A method that forces human eggs to divide can produce embryonic stem cells capable of division and differentiation with only one copy of each gene.

Adipogenesis in mice has alternating genetic requirements throughout the animals’ lives.

Obesity triggers a fatty acid synthesis pathway, which in turn helps drive T cell differentiation and inflammation.
