Exploring whether stem cells can help regenerate damaged heart tissue. This video looks at the science, the potential benefits, and what current research says about repairing the heart with stem cell ...

Northeastern University scientists have discovered that a protein in the human brain could potentially be used to grow new neurons in the lab and enhance brain processes affected by aging or ...

Scientists have discovered that transplanted stem cell-derived brain cells may do far more than simply survive after a stroke ...

Stem cells offer an extraordinary toolkit for science and medicine. Researchers are getting better at turning these ...

A study published in Cell Research advances a central idea in stem cell biology by identifying a checkpoint that controls the identity of many different types of stem cells across developmental stages ...

Texas A&M researchers found a way to make stem cells produce double the normal number of mitochondria using nanoflower particles. These energized stem cells then transfer their surplus “power packs” ...

When stem cells are injected into thick tissues, they often clump together and die from lack of oxygen or nutrients, making it almost impossible to use them for thick, highly vascularized tissues like ...

Stem cell therapy is an emerging treatment for type 2 diabetes. Although it’s not yet FDA-approved in the United States, it is a rapidly expanding and promising field of research. Stem cells are ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...
