Research into stem cells and aging aims to understand how stem cells maintain tissue health, what mechanisms ultimately lead to decline in stem cell function
A revolutionary way of making stem cells claimed last year by Japanese and US researchers never existed in the first place. That is the conclusion
Chemotherapy-resistant cancer stem cells make it hard to cure many forms of the disease. Repositioning an existing drug to tackle this problem could significantly improve
Scientists have used two methods to generate patient-specific pluripotent stem cells with normal mitochondria for people with defects in these organelles, according to a study
Researchers at the Salk Institute report the discovery of a new type of pluripotent stem cell whose identity is tied to its location in a
A company that has spent more than 20 years trying to develop treatments based on embryonic stem cells is taking encouragement from small, preliminary tests
Different cell culture conditions can impact genetic changes in human embryonic stem cells (ESCs), and these changes could affect the cells’ clinical utility, according to
A scientist at the University of Buffalo used an FDA-approved drug and human stem cells to increase the production of myelin in a myelin-deficient mouse
Scientists at the University of Manchester say they have used graphene to target and neutralize cancer stem cells while not harming other cells. This new development
Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh working with mice showed how stem cells harvested from teeth extracted during routine dental procedures can potentially be used
Pretreating human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with a small molecule called Ro-31-8425, researchers can increase the expression of the surface receptor CD11a to improve the
You eat healthy, exercise regularly, and avoid toxic substances. You even—so far as you know—have “good genes.” You should be protected against cancer, right? Well,
As always, in addition to the scientific breakthroughs that make headlines throughout the year, there is also a dark side to science. From misconduct to
Although both papers describing stimulus-triggered acquisition of pluripotency (STAP) a simple procedure to reprogram stem cells have been retracted, there’s been some lingering hope that perhaps
The stem cell field was rocked earlier this year by investigations into researchers’ claims to have reprogrammed somatic cells into pluripotent progenitors without the aid
You’d think doctors and patients would be clamoring for cells so versatile they could help reboot a body suffering from everything from leukemia to diabetes.
Eggs and sperm do it when they combine to make an embryo. John Gurdon did it in the 1960s, when he used intestinal cells from

Researchers from Mount Sinai Hospital’s Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute and their international colleagues have uncovered a new type of pluripotent mouse stem cell the “F-class” cell
A Japanese woman in her 70s is the world’s first recipient of cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells, a technology that has created great
A common genetic blood disorder has been corrected in cultured stem cells by using a cutting-edge genome-editing technique. The disorder β-thalassaemia is characterized by reduced
Stem cells derived from the skin of an 86-year-old man show a surprising capacity to survive and form long axons at the site of a
Gene therapy could soon join the electronic pacemaker as a treatment for a weak heart. By inserting a specific gene into heart-muscle cells, researchers can
There are two methods for reprogramming mature cells to pluripotent stem cells, which can give rise to all cells of the body. The first direct
