Very small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs) are a rare and intriguing subpopulation of adult stem cells that exhibit molecular signatures reminiscent of embryonic stem cells. Identified in various ...

When there’s nothing else to prescribe, hope works like a drug. A quadriplegic patient tells herself it’s not a matter of if they find a cure but when. Who’s to say whether salvation is still 10 or 15 ...

A study published in Cell Research advances a central idea in stem cell biology by identifying a checkpoint that controls the ...

Mar. 23 -- WEDNESDAY, Oct. 10 (HealthDay News) -- Adult stem cells lack a protein called Oct4, which helps maintain embryonic stem cells in an undifferentiated state, U.S. researchers report. The ...

The United Kingdom founded a new £16.5 million (USD $30 million) stem cell center in Cambridge this week with a commitment to fundamental research on both human embryonic and adult stem cells as a ...

Scientific inspiration can come from anywhere–a person, an event, even an experiment gone awry. But perhaps nothing can drive innovation more powerfully than the passion born of tragedy. Or, in ...

For the first time, researchers have discovered and isolated adult stem cells from a non-human primate. This finding could transform the foundation for how we develop stem cell treatments. Subscribe ...

HexemBio has launched with a seed round led by Draper Associates to advance a blood stem cell rejuvenation therapy backed by Robert Langer.

Although embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have been successfully derived from mice and rats, efforts to establish chimeric and germline-competent ESC lines in species beyond rodents have been unsuccessful.

Although the technique was first used last year to create hESCs from a donor nucleus taken from an infant, the current study used skin cells from a two men—one 35 years old and the other 75 years old.

Researchers have succeeded in generating high-quality feline embryonic stem cells using sperm and eggs from testes and ovaries discarded during sterilization surgery. As different as they may seem, ...
