Researchers have produced the most detailed map yet of how stem cells in the growing tip of a plant begin their journey to ...

On a YouTube livestream, Berkeley City College students carefully study the movements of stem cells to observe what they do ...

A new study from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) has revealed that long-term Salmonella infections severely damage blood stem cells—the essential factory cells in bone marrow that produce all ...

Could cord tissue stem cells change how we treat chronic pain and disease?

Most if not all organs in mammals have adult stem cells that have some capacity to make and repair tissues throughout the lifetime of the organism. To understand how stem cells achieve these functions ...

For most of medicine’s history, blood has been treated as a delivery system that carries oxygen, nutrients and waste. Two new ...

A professor of plant molecular biology wants people to know that plants have stem cells too. Just like in the medical world, plant stem cells could support human growth and development when used to ...

After decades of hype and setbacks, scientists have made impressive progress into tricking stem cells into repairing organs. Stem cells (like the ones above, growing in petri dishes) are able to ...

The induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology has transformed in vitro research and holds great promise to advance regenerative medicine. iPSCs have the capacity for an almost unlimited ...

The cytoskeleton gives cells their shape and helps them move. Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and Ludwig Maximilian University now show that, in neural stem cells, proteins of the cytoskeleton are ...
