Stem cells are unspecialized cells that have the remarkable ability to develop into various types of cells in the body. They serve as a repair system, dividing essentially without limit to replenish ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important type of human immune cell—known as helper T cells—from stem cells in a ...

What are Pluripotent Stem Cells? Pluripotent stem cells are a type of stem cell that has the remarkable ability to differentiate into any cell type in the body, except for extraembryonic tissues like ...

Jennifer Zenker receives funding from NHMRC and Viertel Foundation. 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 ...

Researchers have unlocked a way to grow the immune system’s “conductors” from stem cells, bringing ready-made cancer-fighting therapies a big step closer. For the first time, scientists at the Univers ...

Stem cell therapy is an emerging treatment for type 2 diabetes. Although it’s not yet FDA-approved in the United States, it is a rapidly expanding and promising field of research. Stem cells are ...

Scientists in Melbourne have discovered how tiny electrical pulses can steer stem cells as they grow, opening the door to new improved ways of creating new tissues, organs, nerves and bones. Dr. Amy ...

PUERTO VALLARTA, Mexico — In the world of regenerative medicine, a new type of stem cell is generating excitement among scientists, physicians, and patients alike: MUSE cells, short for Multilineage ...

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 ...

In a remarkable medical advancement, Chinese researchers have successfully reversed Type 1 diabetes in a female patient using her stem cells. This significant development could potentially ...
