New scientific methods could one day render animal studies—the standard in research laboratories for more than 100 ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

Researchers from University of California San Diego Sanford Stem Cell Institute have discovered that spaceflight accelerates the aging of human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), which ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human 'lung-on-chip' model using stem cells ...

The cells with electrophysiological activity obtained at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) are opening up new avenues for the study of neurodegenerative diseases and the development of ...

Researchers have created a way to guide and control the development of stem cells into specific tissues and organs, opening the door to developing a means of one day tackling complex diseases like ...

Human exploration of deep space is colliding with an uncomfortable biological reality, as new research shows that the very stem cells that renew our blood and immune systems appear to grow old far ...

Whenever I discuss stem cell therapies with non-biologist friends, I’m struck by how confused they often are about what stem cells actually are and what they do. There is particular confusion in ...

A group of scientists restored vision in a monkey by using human stem cells to fix a hole in its retina. The research could open new doors for vision treatment in humans and other animals, too. A new ...
