Cambridge researchers have developed ‘mini brains’ that allow them to study a fatal and untreatable neurological disorder causing paralysis and dementia – and for the…
USC researchers’ experiment helps inform efforts to improve wound-healing in humans. Lizards can regrow severed tails, making them the closest relative to humans that can…
A new study led by Spanish researchers describes a new mechanism for muscle repair after physiological damage relying on the rearrangement of muscle fiber nuclei,…
Our DNA is very similar to that of the chimpanzee, which in evolutionary terms is our closest living relative. Stem cell researchers at Lund University…
Molecules move within elongated protrusions to help stabilize migrating cells inside the bloodstream. An innovative experiment design shows, in real time and at the scale…
Researchers at the University of Southampton have invented a new way to generate human cartilage tissue from stem cells. The technique could pave the way…
Research on human embryos is vital to understanding the earliest stages of human development. Currently, this research is conducted on surplus embryos willingly donated by…
Are prematurely aged or overworked stem cells a significant factor in chronic lung disease? Findings of a study just released in STEM CELLS Translational Medicine (SCTM) say…
A study released in STEM CELLS Translational Medicine (SCTM), by researchers at the Baker Institute for Animal Health, part of Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine,…
New TU Dresden research group aims to uncover how stem cells respond to mechanical forces and electrical cues during the development and maintenance of the…
Blue light is illuminating new understanding of a key signaling pathway in embryo development, tissue maintenance, and cancer genesis. Researchers at the University of Illinois…
Brigham bioengineers have developed a convection-enhanced macroencapsulation device that offers the potential of faster and more effective treatment for people with type 1 diabetes. More…
Study points to mechanism of post-viral lung damage; suggests targets of intervention. The deadliest time in a viral respiratory illness sometimes is actually after the…
Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be used to generate brain organoids containing an eye structure called the optic cup, according to a study…
The research enables far more accurate models of human development and disease and could help solve the shortage of organs for transplant. A year after…
Dresden and Cambridge researchers identify cell type that regulates liver regeneration with touch. From the time of Aristotle, it has been known that the human…
When a tissue experiences inflammation, its cells remember. Pinning proteins to its genetic material at the height of inflammation, the cells bookmark where they left…
