Penn State researchers have developed a technique they call “cellular snowballing,” in which lab-grown cells mixed with ...

Inside the human eye, the retina is made up of several types of cells, including the light-sensing photoreceptors that initiate the cascade of events that lead to vision. Damage to the photoreceptors, ...

Scientists have unveiled a new method for generating blood cells from lab-grown embryo-like structures, a development that could significantly advance regenerative therapies. This breakthrough also ...

Scientists have grown a human embryo-like structure in a lab which replicates very early human development - including the production of blood stem cells. The lab-grown embryo model could help ...

Cindy Tian of the Department of Animal Science in the College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources works in her lab in the Agricultural Biotechnology Laboratory (ABL). Oct. 19, 2022.

What previously required months or years of specialised lab work can now be done in hours or days thanks to its integrated ...

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, or nephrons, that make up a human kidney. But ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development - including the ...

Stem cells are special in the way they can keep on replicating, and turn themselves into many other types of cell. Now scientists have discovered how their superpowers get a remarkable boost when they ...

In a preclinical animal study, implantation of lab-grown esophageal grafts restored swallowing, offering hope for infants with long-gap esophageal atresia.

Can’t settle on one answer? Not surprising-the mini powerhouses have grabbed attention lately with studies hinting at their potential to do all of the above. What makes stem cells so special? Unlike ...
