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

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 ...

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

Your body is like a busy city with construction crews working every day. These crews are your stem cells. They fix damage, keep everything running, and build new structures when needed. But as you get ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia developed a reliable method to produce helper T cells from stem cells by precisely tuning Notch signaling, enabling scalable, off-the-shelf immune ...

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

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 ...

Researchers have unlocked a way to grow the immune system’s “conductors” from stem cells, bringing ready-made cancer-fighting therapies a big step closer. For the first time, scientists at the Univers ...

From axolotls to zebrafish, stem cells possess remarkable regenerative abilities, enabling them to restore lost limbs and repair damaged organs. These extraordinary capabilities, however, are not ...
