Researchers found that neural crest stem cells are uniquely capable of reprogramming, challenging current reprogramming ...

Three people with severely impaired vision who received stem-cell transplants have experienced substantial improvements in ...

When thinking about the immune system, most people think about B and T cells and how they can be trained to recognize ...

A team led by researchers at the University of Toronto has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other ...

RCCS San Raffaele Scientific Institute in Milan researchers have discovered that hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) adapt their lineage commitment during gene therapy based on the underlying genetic ...

Stem cells are cells that have the capacity to self-renew by dividing and to develop into more mature, specialised cells. Stem cells can be unipotent, multipotent, pluripotent or totipotent ...

And they argue that scientists can achieve the same results using adult stem cells— immature cells found in bone marrow and other organs in adult human beings, as well as in umbilical cords ...

Stem cells grown in microgravity aboard the International Space Station (ISS) have unique qualities that could one day help accelerate new biotherapies and heal complex disease, researchers say. The ...

A stem cell transplant can be a good treatment for multiple myeloma. A successful transplant gives someone with multiple myeloma new, healthy bone marrow. It replaces the bone marrow harmed by myeloma ...

You might have a stem cell or bone marrow transplant as part of your treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). Having a transplant means destroying as many leukaemia cells as possible and ...

If cells are removed from the embryo they will differentiate into any cell type. These are called embryonic stem cells. Some stem cells remain in the bodies of adults as adult stem cells.
