Explore how stem cell biology is advancing strategies to repair the injured nervous system and support regeneration following ...

Brain damage caused by blocked blood vessels may be treatable using injections of stem cells, according to a new study by researchers from the University of Zurich and the University of Southern ...

Stem cells play central roles in tissue homeostasis, regeneration, and repair across diverse biological systems. Advances in stem cell biology, lineage tracing, organoid and bioengineered models, and ...

Pregnancy is a time of big changes for a woman’s body. From morning sickness to growing a new life, it can feel like a mix of joy and challenges. But what if the bond between mother and baby goes ...

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 ...

Unveiling a cellular mechanism by which muscle stem cells repair damage, researchers spark hope for remedying muscle loss caused by injury, aging and weight-loss medications. A team of scientists from ...

Years before he conducted the research that would earn him a Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine, Shinya Yamanaka, MD, Ph.D., was a postdoctoral scientist at Gladstone Institutes, studying genes.

Recent studies have uncovered a fascinating link between dark chocolate consumption and stem cell activation. Dark chocolate with a cocoa content of over 70 percent has been shown to activate stem ...

Japanese researchers are testing a surprising, minimally invasive way to repair spine fractures. A team at Osaka Metropolitan University found that stem cells from fat tissue can repair breaks similar ...

Stem cells in most organisms typically take cues from adjacent cells. But new research from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research reveals planarian stem cells ignore their nearest neighbors and ...

A study led by Cambridge researchers has shed light on how neural stem cell grafts could help restore myelin in the central nervous system. The findings suggest that neural stem cell-based therapies ...
