Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as "miracle" cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in our bodies, promising revolutionary medical treatments. However, ...

Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron ...

From axolotls to zebrafish, stem cells possess remarkable regenerative abilities, enabling them to restore lost limbs and repair damaged organs. These extraordinary capabilities, however, are not ...

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia developed a reliable method to produce helper T cells from stem cells by precisely tuning Notch signaling, enabling scalable, off-the-shelf immune ...

According to Mayo Clinic, stem cells are a special type of cell that have two important properties that make more cells like ...

A Northwestern Medicine-led study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation has uncovered why older individuals with specific genetic mutations face a heightened risk of developing serious ...

Stem cell therapy uses stem cells or their derivatives to repair and regenerate tissues that have been diseased, damaged, or ...

Diabetes develops when the body fails to manage its blood glucose levels. One form of diabetes causes the body to not produce insulin at all. Called Type 1 diabetes, or T1D, this autoimmune disease ...
