A study published in Cell Research advances a central idea in stem cell biology by identifying a checkpoint that controls the identity of many different types of stem cells across developmental stages ...

Stem cells offer an extraordinary toolkit for science and medicine. Researchers are getting better at turning these ...

Scientists have discovered that transplanted stem cell-derived brain cells may do far more than simply survive after a stroke ...

Northeastern University scientists have discovered that a protein in the human brain could potentially be used to grow new neurons in the lab and enhance brain processes affected by aging or ...

A multicentre clinical trial led by Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis has shown that donor stem cells ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

Texas A&M researchers found a way to make stem cells produce double the normal number of mitochondria using nanoflower particles. These energized stem cells then transfer their surplus “power packs” ...
