A discovery, several years in the making, by a UB research team has proven that adult skin cells can be converted into neural crest cells (a type of stem cell) without any genetic modification, and ...

Scientists in Zurich have shown that stem cell transplants can reverse stroke damage by regenerating neurons, restoring motor ...

A stem cell, by definition, must be able to self-replicate to make more stem cells and to differentiate into a mature cell type. They can be unipotent as in muscle cells and only differentiate into ...

Stem cell therapy reversed stroke damage in mice, regenerating neurons and restoring movement. The findings bring scientists ...

Previous studies have found similarities in gene expression between resting brain stem cells and normal astrocytes even though they have very different functions. New research into epigenetic changes ...

Lab-grown brain cells improved stroke recovery in mice by repairing circuits and reducing damage. Human trials could follow within 5–7 years.

Two distinct stem cell lineages that drive tooth root and alveolar bone formation have been identified by researchers from ...

When breast cancer spreads, it often targets the spine. Now scientists may have finally discovered why. A newfound kind of stem cell drives cancer cells to bones in the vertebrae, pathologist Matthew ...

In a remarkable medical advancement, Chinese researchers have successfully reversed Type 1 diabetes in a female patient using her stem cells. This significant development could potentially ...
