How does a tiny cluster of cells become an embryo with a head, trunk, and tail? And how do thousands of genes coordinate this development? A new imaging method makes it possible to visualize the ...

Researchers in Japan pioneered reprogrammed cells 20 years ago. Now the country has given the first-ever authorizations to manufacture and sell medical products based on the technology.

Very small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs) are a rare and intriguing subpopulation of adult stem cells that exhibit molecular signatures reminiscent of embryonic stem cells. Identified in various ...

This week, Bobbi Conner talks with MUSC's Dr. Vanessa Hinson about research underway to explore the use of stem cell therapy ...

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 ...

Cells, as physical systems, are discrete, membrane-bound units of biological organization that maintain non-equilibrium thermodynamic states through regulated exchanges of matter and energy with their ...

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--To help scientists accelerate their workflows, STEMCELL Technologies has commercially launched the STEMprep™ Tissue Dissociator System—a new benchtop ...

Scientists have produced the first detailed characterization of the changes that weight loss causes in human fat tissue by analyzing hundreds of thousands of cells. They found a range of positive ...

Aging muscles heal more slowly after injury - a frustrating reality familiar to many older adults. A new UCLA study conducted in mice reveals an unexpected cause: Stem cells in aged muscle accumulate ...

Killer immune cells destroy cancer cells and cells infected by virus. These CD8 + T cells are activated after detection of viral infection or growth of “non-self” tumor cells. However, in chronic ...

New research shows smoking changes how key eye cells control genes, helping explain why smokers face a much higher risk of ...
