Researchers at Kumamoto University have achieved a notable advancement in stem cell biology by reproducing the developmental process of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in vitro. This culture system ...

When injured, cells have well-regulated responses to promote healing. These include a long-studied self-destruction process that cleans up dead and damaged cells as well as a more recently identified ...

Stem cells are precursors of a variety of different cells: They can turn into anything from blood to bone to muscle. Human blood stem cells, known as hematopoietic stem cells, are the forerunners of ...

A recent study from Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, India has revealed new details about how our cells clean up and recycle waste. This process, known as autophagy, is like a ...

In what he refers to as a "small step," an MU researcher has coaxed stem cells harvested from pig blood into becoming bone, blood vessel and neural cells. Elmer Price, a professor of biomedical ...

Japan has granted world-first approval for two stem cell–based regenerative therapies, one for Parkinson’s disease and one for severe heart failure. The Parkinson’s treatment uses induced pluripotent ...
