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

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 ...

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

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

Since 2000, the International Space Station has brought together 280 astronauts from around the world in numerous flight operations and celestial research. However, these specialized scientists do ...

In a recent medical study, Stanford researchers say a new stem cell experiment is transforming the lives of stroke patients. The use of stem cells is allowing patients with little hope for recovery to ...

Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as "miracle" cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in our bodies, promising revolutionary medical treatments. However, ...

Scientists agree on one point: Public must be involved in debate over whether to proceed. A group of American and Canadian biologists is debating whether to recommend conducting stem cell experiments ...

DEAR READERS: In yesterday’s column I said that, theoretically, embryonic stem cells could be used to replace cells that are killed by disease — heart cells killed in a heart attack, for example, or ...

A study led by Maria Carmo-Fonseca at GIMM has helped clarify one of the main limitations of lab-grown heart cells, which are ...
