Researchers in Brazil have developed a graphene-based scaffold derived from industrial waste that attracted bone cells and ...

Bone health relies on a balance between osteoblasts (builders) and osteoclasts (recyclers). Peak bone mass occurs in early adulthood; deficiencies during this window amplify fracture risks later in ...

In work published in Nature Biotechnology, Rubin and his research group turned to 3D cell culture to take on the problem of generating sufficient satellite cells for regenerative therapies. 2 ...

Scientists in China have unveiled a breakthrough way to mass-produce powerful cancer-fighting immune cells in the lab. By engineering early-stage stem cells from cord blood—rather than trying to ...

Two new studies suggest that stem cells are close to helping people with Parkinson's disease. The results are a victory for scientists who have spent decades trying to treat it with brain cells. Two ...

A professor of plant molecular biology wants people to know that plants have stem cells too. Just like in the medical world, plant stem cells could support human growth and development when used to ...

In the early 2000s, dental clinician and stem cell researcher Songtao Shi’s six-year-old daughter lost her first tooth. Curious, Shi, then at the University of Pennsylvania, took a closer look at its ...

In 2012, the discovery of a way to ‘reprogram’ mature mouse and human cells into a primitive state from which they could develop into any of the body’s cell types won Shinya Yamanaka, a biologist at ...

New research based on adults who were cured of HIV after stem cell transplants may offer hope to ultimately have a global impact on HIV care. A total of 10 individuals with HIV have been cured to date ...
