First-of-its-kind roadmap reveals how stem cells become sensory interneurons

Researchers at the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCLA have developed a first-of-its-kind roadmap detailing how stem cells become sensory interneurons -; the cells that enable sensations like touch, pain and itch.

RNA-chopping enzyme Dicer stabilizes mammalian chromosomes with the help of BRD4 activator

Cells use RNA as a versatile tool to regulate the activity of their genes. Small snippets of RNA can fine-tune how much protein is produced from various genes; some small RNAs can shut genes off altogether.

How have human organoids been used in research to study SARS-CoV-2?

In a recent review published in the journal Organoids, scientists have presented an overview on the use of human stem cell-derived organoids in understanding functionality and cellular tropism of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2), a deadly beta-coronavirus responsible for the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

New stem cell model could help map out the key genomic changes during early development

Researchers from the Babraham Institute have today published their latest work in the journal Cell Stem Cell describing a new subset of human embryonic stem cells that closely resemble the cells present at the genomic 'wake up call' of the 8-cell embryo stage in humans.

CD91 receptor promotes SARS-CoV-2 infection

researchers find that LRP1/CD91 is a leading molecule in virus-host cell interactions that causes infection by many RNA viruses.

Fast-tracked ruling on abortion won’t wait for ‘hearts and minds’ to change

When he was running for president in 1999, George W. Bush, then governor of Texas, famously fended off the strong anti-abortion wing of his party by suggesting the country ought not consider banning abortion until public opinion shifted further in that direction. "Laws are changed as minds are persuaded," he said.
