While animal eggs await fertilization, their cell cycle needs to be halted. The molecule responsible for this arrest ? the cytostatic factor ? was first described in 1971. But its identity was not ...

Researchers have reported growing hearts containing human cells in pig embryos for the first time. The embryos survived for 21 days, and in that time their tiny hearts started beating.

This valuable manuscript provides convincing evidence that BK and CaV1.3 channels can co-localize as ensembles early in the biosynthetic pathway, including in the ER and Golgi. The findings, supported ...
