“Mother of stem cells” boast better efficiency when they slow down

Researchers have found that the “mother” of all stem cells, known as totipotent stem cells, have a much slower rate of DNA replication, which helps improve their efficiency at differentiating into other cells. Putting the brakes on DNA replication in l… Continue reading “Mother of stem cells” boast better efficiency when they slow down

World’s smallest ultrasound detector is tinier than a blood cell

Scientists in Germany have succeeded in developing the smallest ultrasound detector ever created, which is tinier than a blood cell and opens up new possibilities in what is known as super-resolution imaging. The researchers describe the results as “br… Continue reading World’s smallest ultrasound detector is tinier than a blood cell
