Plant scientists have identified a protein that plays a previously unknown role in controlling cell differentiation and determining gender in vascular plants, using a fern model. The discovery ...

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 ...

Single-molecule imaging shows that three CBX2 protein molecules can seed Polycomb condensates that silence genes in stem cells. The discovery reveals how rare proteins organize genome regulation and ...

The sugar glucose, which is the main source of energy in almost every living cell, has been revealed in a Stanford Medicine study to also be a master regulator of tissue differentiation - the process ...
