Scientists are developing a "sponge" that can soak up pain signals in the body before they reach the brain, potentially ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron ...

Stem cell-derived endothelial cell differentiation represents a rapidly advancing field that leverages the plasticity of pluripotent cells to generate functional vascular components. Central to the ...

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

Chinese researchers have developed a new stem cell therapy for Parkinson’s disease which reportedly provides rapid improvement in symptoms for patients suffering for decades from the neurological ...

For stem cells to differentiate into the appropriate cell-type, transcription factors (TFs) must be tailored to highly specific expression patterns of lineage-specific genes. Abnormalities in the ...

Stem cells are unspecialised cells that can develop into any type of cell in the human body. So far, however, scientists only partially understand how the body controls the fate of these all-rounders, ...

Plant regeneration relies on a delicate balance between stem cell renewal and differentiation, yet the evolutionary origin and functional limits of key regulators remain poorly understood. This study ...

Stem cell therapy uses stem cells or their derivatives to repair and regenerate tissues that have been diseased, damaged, or ...
