Read the Rest...BACKGROUND: Stem cells are the body's raw materials — cells from which all other cells with specialized functions are generated. Under the right conditions, stem cells divide to form more cells, called daughter cells. These daughter cells become new stem cells or specialized cells with a more specific function, such as blood cells, brain cells, [...]

Read the Rest...Hepatitis C is a viral disease that leads to inflammation and organ failure. However, researchers are puzzled as to why some individuals are very susceptible to the disease, while others are not. Researchers believe they could find out how genetic variations produce these different responses by investigating liver cells from different individuals in the lab. [...]
