The development of humans and other animals unfolds gradually over time, with cells taking on specific roles and functions ...

T cell development is a tightly regulated process that transforms immature thymocytes into mature T cells with distinct functionalities. In the thymus, precursor cells undergo a series of selection ...

Leydig cells are specialised interstitial cells within the testis responsible for the synthesis of testosterone, a critical hormone for male reproductive function and secondary sexual characteristics.

What do cells want to be when they grow up, and how do they get there? Intrigued by these questions, many developmental biologists try to follow the journeys of cells from when they can virtually ...

How do you currently identify and select cells for further growth, characterization and processing? Many available cell-selection technologies lack the sensitivity necessary to preserve cell health ...

During early development, tissues and organs begin to form through the shifting, splitting, and growing of many thousands of cells. A team of researchers headed by MIT engineers has now developed a ...

A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — plays a vital, overlooked role in the first steps of life. Each of us starts ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important type of human immune cell—known as helper T cells—from stem cells in a ...

The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) today announced the upcoming release of “Charting the Translational ...

New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

Nik Ekman is the application development manager for Cell & Gene Therapy covering the Americas at CPC. Ekman has 10 years of experience in applications engineering and process development within the ...
