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

A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.

An international research team identified hundreds of genes essential for the development of brain cells, including one gene ...

Researchers created the most detailed maps yet of the genome’s three-dimensional organization using human stem cells and ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature.

During embryonic stem cell (ESC) development, pluripotent stem cells transition from a naïve state into a primed state before they take their first steps toward a lineage commitment. Jacob Hanna, a ...

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 ...

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 ...
