In a paper published in Cell, a USC Stem Cell-led team reports a new way of generating a renewable and expandable supply of ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

In the lab, it's easier to grow simple balls of cells than complex asymmetrical structures with two distinct ends—like the one million filtering units—nephrons—that make up a human kidney. But new ...

Artificial cells created in the laboratory offer a wide range of potential applications. Until now, however, their ...

Editor’s Note: This is part of a series called Inside the Lab, which gives audiences a first-hand look at the laboratories of researchers at the University of Chicago who are working to improve our ...

A research team has discovered when and why inflammatory signaling affects the formation of blood stem cells in embryos, which will benefit efforts to develop lab-grown, patient-derived stem cell ...

City of Hope, one of the largest cancer research and treatment organizations in the United States, has been awarded $5.4 million from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) to build ...

Results overturn assumptions about the body's primary structural building block, opening potential new avenues for treating fibrosis and cancer.

AMES, Iowa – A decade ago, Raquel Espin Palazon discovered that inflammatory signaling pathways must switch on for embryos to produce blood stem cells. The latest work from her lab shows the potential ...
