Cellular differentiation of stem cells into specialized cells requires many steps, including division, to create more cells; fate determination, which is a commitment to a specific lineage or ...

One of the most amazing things to happen in biology in the last couple of years is cellular reprogramming. We learned how to ...

Researchers devised a process to convert a skin cell directly into a neuron, eliminating the need to generate induced pluripotent stem cells. Such neurons could be used to treat spinal cord injuries ...

The brain's mechanisms for repairing injuries caused by trauma or degenerative diseases are not yet known in detail.

New research from scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) describes a process for converting skin cells directly into neurons that bypasses the induced pluripotent stem cell ...

During the height of New York City’s COVID-19 lockdown, a small group of people with Parkinson’s disease arrived at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center for an experimental neurosurgical procedure: ...

Stem cell therapy reversed stroke damage in mice, regenerating neurons and restoring movement. The findings bring scientists closer to human treatments that could one day transform recovery after ...

A new technique developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology helps convert skin cells into neurons without needing ...

Two distinct stem cell lineages that drive tooth root and alveolar bone formation have been identified by researchers from ...

Earlier this week, San Diego startup Gallant announced $18 million in funding to bring the first FDA-approved ready-to-use stem cell therapy to veterinary medicine. If it passes regulatory muster, it ...

More than 4 million people worldwide have end-stage kidney disease that requires hemodialysis, a treatment in which a machine filters waste from the blood. Hemodialysis is a precursor to kidney ...
