The study offers the latest evidence that gene-modified pig organs could be a viable option for people suffering from organ failure. View on euronews ...

We know today that Wnt and a handful of other signalling systems (Notch, Hedgehog, TGFβ (transforming growth factor-β)–BMP (bone morphogenetic protein) and receptor tyrosine kinases ...

Nusse’s lab at Stanford focuses on a family of proteins of called Wnts, which are key regulators of stem cell fate. To find and follow stem cells in a variety of tissues, they have developed mice in ...

Sclerosteosis arises from mutations in the SOST gene, causing abnormally high bone mass and skeletal overgrowth, which can ...

5. Wnt signaling protein. We investigated Wnt proteins, a central player of the signaling process of cell differentiation, at various levels from molecules to tissues. Once synthesized, they undergo ...

Headon’s team ultimately found that fingerprints start out looking very similar to hair follicles: Both begin as small discs of cells on the epithelium, and in both cases, the cells turn on genes for ...
