Stem cells and the philosopher's stone

open access: yesJournal of Cellular Biochemistry, 2002
Stem cell biology is now one of the most exciting and rapidly advancing areas of scientific endeavor. Promises of cures of a wide variety of diseases by specific replacement of damaged or malfunctional tissues by use of totipotent or multipotent stem cells is on the horizon in clinical practice. Stem cells derived from the embryo and from adult tissues

Functional characterization of COMT genes in Chinese white pear (Pyrus bretschneideri) and their role in lignin synthesis

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
BackgroundCaffeic acid O-methyltransferase (COMT) is an S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM)-dependent O-methyltransferase that catalyzes the methylation of caffeic acid to form ferulic acid, a critical step in lignin biosynthesis.

Single-Cell Genomics: A Stepping Stone for Future Immunology Discoveries [PDF]

open access: yesCell, 2018
The immunology field has invested great efforts and ingenuity to characterize the various immune cell types and elucidate their functions. However, accumulating evidence indicates that current technologies and classification schemes are limited in their ability to account for the functional heterogeneity of immune processes.
