Researchers at Johns Hopkins, writing in the journal Cell, have found that a single brain stem cell can produce two stem cells just like itself. "If we can somehow cash in on this newly discovered ...

Inflammation covertly rewires the bone marrow, enabling mutated stem cells to rise and setting the stage for future blood disease.

Scientists from the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR) have identified key changes to both chromosome structure and gene expression that affect stem cell function during aging. Using ...

An important element in getting blood stem cells to multiply outside the body is to understand which of the approximately 20,000 genes in the human body control their growth. Now a research team at ...

Stem cells grown in microgravity aboard the International Space Station (ISS) have unique qualities that could one day help accelerate new biotherapies and heal complex disease, two Mayo Clinic ...

A single blood protein can make aging stem cells act young again. As people age and notice changes like graying hair or reduced muscle strength, their immune system also undergoes shifts. One key ...

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

DURHAM, N.C. -- It might look like a comet or a shooting star, but this time-lapse video is actually a tiny plant root, not much thicker than a human hair, magnified hundreds of times as it grows ...

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 ...

Stem cell transplants that are a standard treatment for certain blood cancers are out of reach for many patients. The procedure requires cells from a matched donor, but a match isn’t always available.
