Germline development is the development of the cell lineage that gives rise to the reproductive cells, called gametes, of sexually reproducing organisms. Primordial germ cells, the founder cells ...

Our lives begin with germ cells, sperm and eggs, which are then passed on to the next generation. How exactly are these germ cells formed? Dr. Toshiya Nishimura in the Faculty of Fisheries Sciences is ...

Dec. 18, 2024 — Scientists have generated human stem cell models which contain notochord -- a tissue in the developing embryo that acts like a navigation system, directing cells where to build ...

Dec. 17, 2024 — Researchers developed a fully open-source biomolecular structure prediction model that achieves state-of-the-art performance, at the level of ...

Recent insights revealed that piRNAs and PIWI proteins, known for their roles in germline maintenance, significantly influence mRNA stability, translation and retrotransposon silencing in both stem ...

Histone modification signatures mark sites of transcriptional regulatory elements and regions of gene activation and repression. These sites vary among cell types and undergo dynamic changes during ...

It feels like the Splinter Cell remake has been on its way for a while now, which isn't helped by the fact it's been over two years since we heard anything official about the game. From what we've ...

Researchers are exploring the world’s first virtual human cell, an AI-powered model designed to simulate the complex behavior of human biomolecules, cells, and tissues. Credit: Emma Lundberg Recent ...
