Researchers have now learned more about how signals sent from one cell to another can influence their fate. For example, the genes GATA1 and SPI1 are known to inhibit each another. GATA1 is expressed ...

The delicate balance between cell death and regeneration is crucial for human health and longevity. Most mechanisms involved ...

The careful control of cell division is essential to organisms, and when it goes awry, major problems can arise like developmental defects or tumor growth. Cell division can have a major influence on ...

Scientists have identified about two dozen genes that control embryonic stem cell fate. The genes may either prod or restrain stem cells from drifting into a kind of limbo, they suspect. The limbo ...

The cell proliferation assay chosen for a study depends on its specific advantages and disadvantages for the reasons listed above (sensitivity, how well it can be reproduced, and compatibility ...

When T-cell receptor binding to the presented cancer protein fell within the Goldilocks strength range, the researchers saw increased T-cell proliferation and activation in vitro and in vivo.
