Instead of sending tourists to space, scientists have found a more practical use for the final frontier: growing better ...

Aging is inevitable for most cell types in the human body, but hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) seem to defy the process. They ...

From totipotent stem cells at conception, to pluripotent, multipotent, oligopotent, and unipotent stem cells by adulthood – every disease essentially boils down to a dysfunction in the cells and ...

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

Researchers led by Osaka University in Japan have conducted the first human trial using induced pluripotent stem-cell-derived ...

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

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 ...

Researchers successfully tested the safety and preliminary efficacy of stem-cell-derived corneal implants, showing promise ...

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 ...

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 ...
