Skeletal stem cells discovered in humans
Scientists have found sources of skeletal stem cells in humans for the first time...
Gene expression is the process of converting the information contained in a gene into the gene product. The DNA of the gene is first transcribed into RNA, which is then either translated into a protein or remains as an RNA molecule. The expression level of a particular gene can be turned ’up’ or ‘down’ in different cells at different times, as required.
