Heart muscle cells grown from stem cells show promise in monkeys with a heart problem that typically results from a heart ...

Instead of sending tourists to space, scientists have found a more practical use for the final frontier: growing better ...

Aging is inevitable for most cell types in the human body, but hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) seem to defy the process. They ...

And they argue that scientists can achieve the same results using adult stem cells— immature cells found in bone marrow and other organs in adult human beings, as well as in umbilical cords ...

Stem cells are cells that have the capacity to self-renew by dividing and to develop into more mature, specialised cells. Stem cells can be unipotent, multipotent, pluripotent or totipotent ...

Researchers led by Osaka University in Japan have conducted the first human trial using induced pluripotent stem-cell-derived ...

A stem cell transplant can be a good treatment for multiple myeloma. A successful transplant gives someone with multiple myeloma new, healthy bone marrow. It replaces the bone marrow harmed by myeloma ...

If cells are removed from the embryo they will differentiate into any cell type. These are called embryonic stem cells. Some stem cells remain in the bodies of adults as adult stem cells.

Researchers successfully tested the safety and preliminary efficacy of stem-cell-derived corneal implants, showing promise ...

Chinese scientists have achieved a world-first by successfully treating a 25-year-old woman with type 1 diabetes using a stem ...

You might have a stem cell or bone marrow transplant as part of your treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). Having a transplant means destroying as many leukaemia cells as possible and ...

Heart muscle cells grown from human induced pluripotent stem cells (in green) have successfully integrated into rhesus ...
