Stem cells elicit immunomodulatory properties through surface protein expression and their secretome. These properties allow stem cells to influence the ...

All cell types found in the body are derived from stem cells. However, genetic mutations can impact the ability of stem cells to develop into fully functional cells. Also, as the body ages, the number ...

Stem cells can fight disease from the inside out. But not all treatments are created equal. By Mohana Ravindranath The promise of stem cell therapy is powerful. Scientists can draw versatile cells ...

A company called Colossal plans to pioneer the de-extinction business, taking species that have died within the past few thousand years and restoring them through the use of DNA editing and stem cells ...

Patients suffering from Parkinson's disease may soon benefit from a powerful treatment option: stem-cell transplants. In a pair of small studies designed primarily to test safety, two teams of ...

Jennifer Zenker receives funding from NHMRC and Viertel Foundation. Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as “miracle” cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in ...

When we developed the ability to convert various cells into a stem cell, it held the promise of an entirely new type of therapy. Rather than getting the body to try to fix itself with its cells or ...

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 ...

Stem cells made a public splash with large research breakthroughs in the 90s and early 2000s. However, since then, stem cells have largely been adopted by the alternative medicine and wellness world ...

An expanded clinical trial that tested a groundbreaking, experimental stem cell treatment for blinding cornea injuries found the treatment was feasible and safe in 14 patients who were treated and ...
