UCLA scientists create first roadmap of human skeletal muscle development
These microscopic images show gene expression in muscle stem and progenitor cells as they mature from early development to adulthood (left to right). As part of this process, the cells switch from actively expressing one key gene (green) to another (violet); this is accompanied by the growth of muscle fibers (red).

Findings could lead to better methods for creating muscle cells from [Read More...]

Early detection of Crohn’s disease flare-ups leads to improved therapy options
Intestinal stem cell metabolism is facilitated by mitochondria – the in-cell power plants. Chronic inflammation processes inhibit the cells’ metabolism and lead to functional loss of these stem cells.
In collaboration with the Helmholz Zentrum München and the [Read More...]
Computer simulations visualize how DNA is recognized to convert cells into stem cells

Researchers of the Hubrecht Institute (KNAW – The Netherlands) and the Max Planck Institute in Münster (Germany) have revealed how an essential protein helps to activate genomic DNA during the conversion of [Read More...]
