Stem-cell differentiation is the process by which a more specialised cell is formed from a stem cell, leading to loss of some of the stem cell's developmental potential. Stem-cell differentiation ...
Cancer cells can poison attacking immune cells by filling them with defective mitochondria ― dampening the body’s defensive forces and helping the tumour to evade eradication 1. These findings ...
