Chemical cell reprogramming is seen as an alternative for disease modeling or even potential cell replacement therapy of neurological disorders, but the "proof-of-concept" is still emerging.
Work to build chemical cells, known as 'chells', which are made using chemical components and act just like cells in plants or animals, is in the very early stages of development.
Chemical approaches are powerful tools to manipulate stem cell fate, which facilitate not only improved generation of desired cell types, but also better understanding of the underlying molecular ...
Chemical signals are continually bombarding cell. Learn how the binding of a signal to cell receptors initiates a process called signal trandsduction inside the cell that causes a chain of reactions.
