UCLA researchers found NDRG1 builds up in old muscle stem cells, slowing repair but boosting survival. Blocking it speeds ...

Stem cell transplantation (also called bone marrow transplantation) and gene therapy are among the most powerful curative ...

Stem cells can self-renew and differentiate into a wide variety of cell types, making them critical components in embryonic development. In adults, stem cell populations, such as those in the ...

After decades of hype and setbacks, scientists have made impressive progress into tricking stem cells into repairing organs. Stem cells (like the ones above, growing in petri dishes) are able to ...

With roughly 2,000 giant pandas remaining in the wild, scientists have spent the last several decades looking for new ways to help the iconic black-and-white bears stave off extinction. And now, it ...

T cells are an elite fighting force of the immune system, seeking out and destroying diseased cells. But in a prolonged ...

Texas A&M researchers found a way to make stem cells produce double the normal number of mitochondria using nanoflower particles. These energized stem cells then transfer their surplus “power packs” ...

As blood stem cells age, their lysosomes become overactive and damaged, triggering inflammation and weakening the body’s ability to regenerate healthy blood and immune cells. By calming this cellular ...

Humans have around 30 trillion cells in our adult bodies. Amazingly, each of these cells came from a handful of about 100 stem cells in the earliest days of development. The ability of these embryonic ...
