New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...

A team at Johns Hopkins Medicine has focused their work on myelin development using oligodendrocytes to help study conditions like MS.

For stem cells to differentiate into the appropriate cell-type, transcription factors (TFs) must be tailored to highly specific expression patterns of lineage-specific genes. Abnormalities in the ...

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

When you were first conceived, you were a single cell. From this basic fact, we can extrapolate a few things, most especially that all the cells that make up your body today came (indirectly) from ...

Every second, an adult generates around five million new blood cells to replace aging or dying ones, making the blood system a highly regenerative organ. These new blood cells are formed in the bone ...

Researchers from Johns Hopkins Medicine, utilizing mouse models, reveal that oligodendrocyte precursor cells differentiate at a consistent, extensive rate throughout adulthood.

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one ...
