NIH’s SMaHT Network will chart trillions of somatic mutations to reveal how our DNA changes over a lifetime. In a nutshell ...

So, in embryonic development, you have pluripotent stem cells, which have the unique ability to transform or differentiate into any cell type in the body. But in adults, you can have induced ...

A new way to grow stem cells may help them release more of the signaling proteins they use to repair tissue, potentially ...

Like all complex organisms, every human originates from a single cell that multiplies through countless cell divisions.

A study published in Cell Stem Cell reveals that some mutations in blood stem cells might help protect against late-onset ...

Scientists discover that dental pulp stem cells from wisdom teeth could regenerate neurons and bones and offer treatments for ...

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 study published in Cell Stem Cell reveals that some mutations in blood stem cells might help protect against late-onset ...

Embryonic stem cells self-renew by dividing and can differentiate into any specialised cell of the body, but not extra-embryonic tissues such as the placenta.

By using a genetic technique developed at UT Southwestern Medical Center that forces cells to rid themselves of mitochondria, researchers are gaining new insights into the function of these critical ...

Stem cell therapies offer emerging hope for systemic sclerosis, with autologous and mesenchymal options under investigation ...
