Perspective: Using microRNAs to Induce Single-cell variability

microRNAs

Newest article from Science Magazine: http://science.sciencemag.org/content/352/6292/1390 A single zygote with a defined DNA sequence gives rise to all the varied cells of the mammalian body. This variety of cell fates may arise in part from cell-to-cell variability in the gene expression programs of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Three recent studies have taken different approaches to characterizing this variability in gene expression in stem cells. These results suggest that microRNAs (miRNAs)…

Global Standards for Stem-cell Research

Stem-cell research is one of the most popular research areas. More and more scientists pay their attention to this field. Now, new guidelines from the International Society for Stem Cell Research offer a model for self-regulation in contentious areas, write Jonathan Kimmelman and colleagues. What’s more, Creative Biomart provides you the best protein products for stem-cell research. Stem-cell research offers tremendous promise for biomedicine. It also raises vexing ethical and…
