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 our bodies, promising revolutionary medical treatments. However, ...

Maria Carolina Florian explores aging and research on the hematopoietic system, particularly focusing on hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) ...

Aging is inevitable for most cell types in the human body, but hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) seem to defy the process. They retain their self-renewing ability almost throughout an organism’s ...

When stem cells are injected into thick tissues, they often clump together and die from lack of oxygen or nutrients, making ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered a method of helping human stem cells thrive in an animal embryo—a key development in efforts to grow human organs in animals for medical transplants. A study by UT ...

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” ...

Researchers in the lab of Hans-Peter Kiem, MD, PhD, at Fred Hutch Cancer Center have devised a method that could one day treat genetic hematologic disorders by correcting how the body makes blood ...

Scientists have perfected the recipe to convert giant panda skin cells into stem cells to study the animal’s biology and aid its conservation. The journey from panda fibroblasts to iPSCs was not easy.

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 ...
