An unusual form of cell death called ferroptosis can sweep over embryonic tissues in a wave-like manner to ensure proper muscle development — evidence that ferroptosis has a role in normal ...

Regulatory proteins common to all eukaryotic cells can have additional, unique functions in embryonic stem cells, according to a new study. If cancer progenitor cells -- which function similarly ...

Researchers bank on stem cells to study developmental biology, understand oral cancer, regenerate organs, and save species on the brink of extinction.

As well as providing energy to the cell, glycolysis also controls cell fate in early embryonic development, laying the foundation for future organ development.
