Survey Finds American Support for Human-Animal Chimera Research

In September 2015, the US National Institutes of Health placed a funding moratorium on research that involves introducing human pluripotent stem cells into animal embryos. To assess attitudes on ...

Breakthrough for Tomorrow's Dentistry

New knowledge on the cellular makeup and growth of teeth can expedite developments in regenerative dentistry - a biological therapy for damaged teeth - as well as the treatment of tooth ...

Placenta Is Initiated First, as Cells of a Fertilized Egg Divide and Specialize

The first stages of placental development take place days before the embryo starts to form in human pregnancies. The finding highlights the ...

Uncovering the Clock That Sets the Speed of Embryo Development

Why do pregnancies last longer in some species than others? Researchers have found the clock that sets the speed of embryonic development and discovered the mechanism is based on how proteins are ...

Fine-Tuning Stem Cell Metabolism Prevents Hair Loss

An international research team has shown in mice that Rictor, a protein that helps to regulate the growth, energy, and oxygen consumption of cells, plays a key role in the cellular metabolism and ...

A New Discovery in Regenerative Medicine

Researchers have made an unexpected world-first stem cell discovery that may lead to new treatments for placenta complications during ...

Gene That Drives Ovarian Cancer Identified

Scientists have pinpointed which specific genes drive - or delay - high-grade serious ovarian ...

New Insight Into Mammalian Stem Cell Evolution

The genes regulating pluripotent stem cells in mammals are surprisingly similar across 48 species, researchers report. The study also shows that differences among these 'gene regulating ...

Mini-Organs Could Offer Treatment Hope for Children With Intestinal Failure

Scientists have grown human intestinal grafts using stem cells from patient tissue that could one day lead to personalized transplants for children with intestinal ...

Coaxing Single Stem Cells Into Specialized Cells

Researchers have developed a unique method for precisely controlling the deposition of hydrogel, which is made of water-soluble polymers commonly used to support cells in experiments or for ...

Breakthrough in Using Stem Cells to Treat Enteric Nervous System Disorders

Scientists have made a breakthrough in understanding how the enteric nervous system forms, which could pave the way for new treatments for neurodegenerative diseases such as ...

Researchers Pinpoint Hierarchy of Breast Cancer Cells as Potential Cause for Treatment Resistance

Researchers say it can take cells in different forms or 'life stages' to cause cancer to grow and ...

A New Molecular Guardian of Intestinal Stem Cells

Researchers investigated how intestinal stem cells are controlled at the molecular level to remain stem cells or to develop into one of various intestinal cells. By studying mice lacking the protein ...

Becoming a Nerve Cell: Timing Is of the Essence

Researchers find that mitochondria regulate a key event during brain development: how neural stem cells become nerve cells. Mitochondria influence this cell fate switch during a precise period that ...

Implanted Neural Stem Cell Grafts Show Functionality in Spinal Cord Injuries

Researchers report successfully implanting specialized grafts of neural stem cells directly into spinal cord injuries in mice, then documenting how the grafts grew and filled the injury sites, ...

Move Over Akita: Introducing 'Kuma Mutant' Mice for Islet Transplantation Research

Scientists have used a gene editing technique to establish a novel mouse model of permanent neonatal diabetes -- the immune-deficient Kuma mutant mice with a specific deletion in the Insulin2 (Ins2) ...

Researchers Discover Stem Cells in Optic Nerve That Preserve Vision

Researchers have for the first time identified stem cells in the region of the optic nerve, which transmits signals from the eye to the brain. The finding presents a new theory on why the most common ...

How Airway Cells Work Together in Regeneration and Aging

Researchers have identified the process by which stem cells in the airways of the lungs switch between two distinct phases -- creating more of themselves and producing mature airway cells -- to ...

'Self-Eating' Process of Stem Cells May Be the Key to New Regenerative Therapies

The self-eating process in embryonic stem cells known as chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) and a related metabolite may serve as promising new therapeutic targets to repair or regenerate damaged ...

A Never-Before-Seen Cell State May Explain Cancer's Ability to Resist Drugs

Scientists have identified an unusual cell state that emerges early in tumor evolution and supports a cancer's ability to outwit ...

Brain Tumors May Be Seeded from Distant Site

A mouse model of glioblastoma, an aggressive type of cancer that can occur in the brain, suggests that this recalcitrant cancer originates from a pool of stem cells that can be a significant distance ...

Skin Stem Cells Shuffle Sugars as They Age

Researchers have shown by in vitro experimentation that changes of glycans in mouse epidermal stem cells may serve as a biomarker of aging. Further, by overexpression of specific glycogenes in mouse ...

The Hair-Raising Reason for Goosebumps

Researchers have discovered that the cells that cause goosebumps are also important for regulating the stem cells that regenerate hair. In the skin, the muscle that contracts to create goosebumps is ...

Researchers 3D Print a Working Heart Pump With Real Human Cells

In a groundbreaking new study, researchers have 3D printed a functioning centimeter-scale human heart pump in the lab. The discovery could have major implications for studying heart disease, the ...
