In its effort to correlate genomic structure with gene function, the 4D Nucleome Consortium (4DN), led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., ...

Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...

The mystery of early embryonic communication is starting to be unraveled thanks to a new stem cell-based model.

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

Jennifer Zenker receives funding from NHMRC and Viertel Foundation. Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as “miracle” cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in ...

MSK physician-scientists Dr. Viviane Tabar and Dr. Lorenz Studer have developed a treatment for Parkinson’s disease that involves creating nerve cells from embryonic stem cells and transplanting them ...

Welcome to Lab Dish, a First Opinion column on regenerative medicine from Paul Knoepfler. Twenty years ago, the use of human embryonic stem cells in research was among the most fiercely debated topics ...

Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as "miracle" cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in our bodies, promising revolutionary medical treatments. However, ...
