Stem cells hold immense potential in research and therapeutic development. One area where they are being utilized is in the development of advanced cell models, such as organoids. Stem cell-derived ...

Years before he conducted the research that would earn him a Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine, Shinya Yamanaka, MD, ...

All cell types found in the body are derived from stem cells. However, genetic mutations can impact the ability of stem cells to develop into fully functional cells. Also, as the body ages, the number ...

Embryonic stem cell (ESC) research holds the potential to completely revolutionize the world of regenerative medicine, yet it is often met with ethical resistance. Here I would like to argue that ...

For the first time, a stem cell model has produced a structure resembling an early human embryo with a yolk-sac-like structure, from a single starting stem cell population and without direct genetic ...

A new way of using umbilical cord blood for treating blood diseases could make the treatment more accessible to patients who need a stem cell transplant. A Phase II clinical trial of patients ...

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 ...

Aging is inevitable for most cell types in the human body, but hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) seem to defy the process. They retain their self-renewing ability almost throughout an organism’s ...

NYBCe and CZ Biohub will derive iPSC lines from cord blood's immune cells, creating shared, broadly compatible resources for cell therapy, disease modelling, and AI-driven drug development.

Have you ever heard a medical term and thought, what does that actually mean in normal life? If so, you are not alone. “Stem cell graft disease” sounds heavy, but the basic idea can be explained in a ...

An “immune system reset” cured autoimmune, or Type 1, diabetes in mice in a Stanford Medicine study. The approach may be useful for other autoimmune conditions as well as organ transplants.
