Understanding how cells differentiate during early embryonic development is crucial for advancing regenerative medicine and ...

Just a few weeks after conception, stem cells are already orchestrating the future structure of the human brain. A new ...

In a small study, researchers transplanted stem cells into the brains of 12 Parkinson’s patients, stopping progression and ...

"We discovered aging triggers the arrival of a new type of adult stem cell and enhances the body's massive production of new fat cells, especially around the belly." We carry brown or white adipose ...

It's no secret that our waistlines often expand in middle-age, but the problem isn't strictly cosmetic. Belly fat accelerates aging and slows down metabolism, increasing our risk for developing ...

A research team from the School of Biomedical Sciences, LKS Faculty of Medicine at the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed), in ...

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) can differentiate into any blood cell. However, as HSCs age, they are more likely to ...

For a typical Parkinson's patient, "you would expect every year to get two to three points worse," says Dr. Lorenz Studer, ...

Scientists have the technology to grow humans in Petri dishes, but they say there are better uses for it: to combat aging.

director of MSK’s Center for Stem Cell Biology, said in the press release. "In our study, not only did the score not get worse, it dropped by more than 20 points in the high-dose group." ...

Researchers show that glycoRNAs, uncovered by the lab of Nobel Laureate, Carolyn Bertozzi, can be used to fight cancer.

Now, reporting in Nature Biotechnology, Flynn's team in the Stem Cell Program at Boston Children's Hospital and Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center demonstrate a first ...
