Dec. 18, 2024 — Scientists have generated human stem cell models which contain notochord -- a tissue in the developing embryo that acts like a navigation system, directing cells where to build ...

The Oregon Stem Cell Center conducts basic and applied research in the field of Stem Cell Biology with the long term goal to harness the properties of stem cells for regenerative medicine and cell ...

Stem cells are cells that have the capacity to self-renew by dividing and to develop into more mature, specialised cells. Stem cells can be unipotent, multipotent, pluripotent or totipotent ...

"The remarkable science of programming instructions to coax stem cells could one day open the door to tackle complex diseases," Klein said. "We could generate specific cell types, like a beta cell ...

Using neural stem cells could help treat spinal injuries once thought to be untreatable -- a new phase 1 trial has determined this approach is safe. A Phase I clinical trial led by researchers at ...

Making panda stem cells, mapping a fruit fly’s brain and witnessing a black hole wake up were among the biggest achievements of the year.

Pluripotent stem cells are cells that have the capacity to self-renew by dividing and to develop into the three primary germ cell layers of the early embryo and therefore into all cells of the ...

Think: replacement parts for whatever ails you. But stem-cell science didn’t go smoothly. Even though scientists soon learned to create these make-anything cells without embryos, coaxing them ...

Researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine pioneered a first of its kind gene therapy model that offers a potential ...
