Rutgers innovation may help guide treatment of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s diseases. A Rutgers-led team has created better biosensor technology that may help lead to safe stem…
UCLA researchers use stem cells to engineer cells that attack human tumors in mice. They’ve been called the “special forces” of the immune system: invariant…
Transplanted brain stem cells survive without anti-rejection drugs in mice. By exploiting a feature of the immune system, researchers open the door for stem cell…
Researchers in Belgium present new findings on X chromosome reactivation. Vincent Pasque and his team have unraveled parts of a mechanism that may one day…
Accounting for sex differences in research animals is vital for the development of better treatments as drug shows promise in female mice alone. Males are…
Researchers from EPFL and the University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands have developed an extremely fast optical method for sculpting complex shapes in stem-cell-laden…
In mice, new compound lifts molecular ‘brakes’ that normally slow the regeneration of blood stem cells. A drug developed by UCLA physician-scientists and chemists speeds…
Patients with blood cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma are often treated by irradiating their bone marrow to destroy the diseased cells. After the treatment,…
Every skin cell on the human body is replaced weekly, with stem cells generating billions of specialized progeny that engage in an orchestrated scramble to…
Researchers from the UCLA Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research and Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have discovered an important…
Researchers from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research and collaborators have identified a way to expand blood-forming, adult stem cells from human umbilical cord blood…
Hydrocephalus is characterized by a dangerous buildup of pressure on the brain caused by excessive amounts of fluid. Researchers have long believed that the condition,…
USC researchers have pinpointed a remedy to thwart a protein that helps the metastatic spread of breast cancer, a leading cause of death for women….
Doctors, health organizations, and the U.S. surgeon general all agree that exercise is good for the heart. But the reasons why are not well understood….
As people age, their intestinal stem cells begin to lose their ability to regenerate. These stem cells are the source for all new intestinal cells,…
A new study in the journal Nature Cell Biology has uncovered information about a key stage that human embryonic cells must pass through just before…
Researchers at Whitehead Institute have uncovered a framework for regeneration that may explain and predict how stem cells in adult, regenerating tissue determine where to…
As we grow older, our muscular function declines. A new study by researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden shows how an unexpectedly high number of…
