Human pluripotent stem-cells (HPSCs)—including human embryonic stem-cells and human induced pluripotent stem-cells—are reshaping the landscape of regenerative medicine.1,2 In Parkinson's disease, ...

A fully-automated bioreactor to culture human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) long-term has been developed by researchers at the Fraunhofer Translational Center for Regenerative Therapies.

Chimpanzee naive pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) can now be grown in cellular cultures, reveals a recent study. They successfully created chimpanzee early embryo models, called 'blastoids,' and found ...

New research shows how dopamine packaging dysfunction triggers toxic processes in neurons, accelerating Parkinson's, and how it can be reversed with ATP.

A new approach to using stem cell–derived pancreatic islets has allowed a patient with type 1 diabetes (T1D) to come off insulin for 1 year. The chemically induced pluripotent stem cell–derived islets ...

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 ...

When we developed the ability to convert various cells into a stem cell, it held the promise of an entirely new type of therapy. Rather than getting the body to try to fix itself with its cells or ...

Egg whites may be perfect for a health-conscious breakfast, but egg yolks turned out to be the key ingredient for cultivating bird embryonic stem cells (ESCs) in the lab. Using a growing medium of egg ...
