Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are pluripotent cells capable of differentiating into all somatic
and germ cell types. The intrinsic ability of pluripotent cells to generate a vast array of …

BACKGROUND The human placenta is vital for fetal development, yet little is understood
about how it forms successfully to ensure a healthy pregnancy or why this process is …

Single-cell RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is a powerful tool to reveal cellular heterogeneity,
discover new cell types and characterize tumor microevolution. However, losses in cDNA …

Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are of great interest in biology and medicine due to
their ability to self-renew and differentiate into any adult or fetal cell type. Important efforts …

Sensory and endoneurocrine tissues as diverse as the lens, the olfactory epithelium, the
inner ear, the cranial sensory ganglia, and the anterior pituitary arise from a common pool of …

To derive porcine embryonic stem (ES) cell lines, the time window during which porcine
embryos contain pluripotent cells that are predisposed to undifferentiated self-renewal in …

The mammalian embryo's caudal lateral epiblast (CLE) harbours bipotent progenitors,
called neural mesodermal progenitors (NMPs), that contribute to the spinal cord and the …

Well-orchestrated epithelial–mesenchymal interactions are crucial for hair follicle (HF)
morphogenesis. In this study, ectodermal precursor cells (EPCs) with the capacity to cross …

The presence of the conceptus in uterine cavity necessitates an elaborate network of
interactions between the implanting embryo and a receptive endometrial tissue. We believe …

Background The interactions between stem cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) mediated
by integrins play important roles in the processes that determine stem cell fate. However, the …
