A single cell type in the skin of mice is a major contributor to scarring after wound healing or radiation damage, and facilitates the growth of melanoma. Blocking the cell’s activity in humans may be possible with currently approved drugs.

Researchers have found more evidence that the brain’s grid cells help a mouse mentally map its location.

Many proteins interact with an RNA molecule called Xist to coat and silence one X chromosome in every female cell. Learning how genes are targeted and silenced may help researchers studying sex-specific diseases.

After leading successful clinical trials of gene therapy in Milan, Roncarolo hopes to build on that success at Stanford through collaboration with colleagues in the fields of genetics and stem cell science.

A new study shows that mature cells enter a unique transition state when being reprogrammed to iPS cells. Deconstructing the reprogramming process will help researchers better understand pluripotency.

The method is analogous to analyzing a smoothie to find what fruits went into making it, the researchers say.

The grant will allow the researcher to pursue a stem-cell-based gene therapy approach to correcting a form of severe combined immunodeficiency in humans.

The expertise of the team that treats Duchenne muscular dystrophy at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford has been recognized by a nonprofit organization.

After a chance observation in the lab, researchers found a method that can force dangerous leukemia cells in the lab to mature into harmless immune cells called macrophages.

Tiny DNA rings, carrying instructions for making a blood-detectable biomarker, can enter both healthy cells and cancer cells. But only cancer cells follow the recipe to make the biomarker.
