The world's largest sickle stem cell disease library will contain a diverse range of samples that can be used to study the disease and develop therapeutics.

The likelihood of a patient surviving or dying from Ebola virus can be accurately predicted by analyzing the expression of a small number of genes.

Study shows that suppression of PTEN can lead to an increase in muscle stem cells.

System finds and links related data scattered across digital files, for easy querying and filtering.

Mapping gene expression in single cells may allow researchers to study how cancerous tumors begin.

Cancerous cells often delete genes that suppress tumor formation, often these genes deletions extend into neighboring genes, this is known as "collateral lethality".

Researchers have characterized a new genetically-based immunodeficiency which stems from a mutation in the gene, STAT2.

UC Berkeley’s Immunotherapeutics and Vaccine Research Institute was launched last year to help support interactivity between cancer and infectious disease research.

Scientists funded by the National Institutes of Health have developed a new way to identify the state and fate of individual stem cells earlier than previously possible

Jani Holopainen of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Helsinki has developed processes for fibrous and thin-film bio-materials, that can be used as scaffolding for bone regeneration and in other bone implants.
