Cells have surface receptors that couple to proteins and other molecules to initiate or inhibit certain behaviors.

Northeastern University scientists have discovered that a protein in the human brain could potentially be used to grow new neurons in the lab and enhance brain processes affected by aging or ...

Stem cells are the original cell type from which all other cells and tissues in the body develop through a very tightly regulated process. However, how stem cells differentiate in addition to ...

Researchers discover that the GPR3 receptor acts as an immediate-early gene to jumpstart neuron and synapse development.

All cells in the body arise from a single fertilized egg. From this single origin, various specialized cells with widely differing tasks evolve through a process called cellular differentiation.

GC Therapeutics (GCTx) has launched with $65 million in series A financing and a technology that promises to improve the speed and efficiency of stem cell differentiation for cell therapies. The ...
