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 our bodies, promising revolutionary medical treatments. However, ...

Stem cells are special in the way they can keep on replicating, and turn themselves into many other types of cell. Now scientists have discovered how their superpowers get a remarkable boost when they ...

From axolotls to zebrafish, stem cells possess remarkable regenerative abilities, enabling them to restore lost limbs and repair damaged organs. These extraordinary capabilities, however, are not ...

Multipotent dental stem cells can give rise to various cell types and show potential for treating injuries, diabetes, and ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

A study conducted by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions reveals the molecular events leading to osteogenesis imperfecta type V, a form of brittle bone disease ...

Recent advances in DNA sequencing, combined with new stem cell research approaches, have allowed an international group of scientists to identify a previously unrecognized form of diabetes that ...

Seals give birth only when conditions are right. After mating, a female seal can delay implantation of the embryo in the ...

Stem cells help improve acne scars by stimulating collagen and reducing inflammation. Bone marrow and fat-derived stem cells have shown promising results in small studies. Exosomes, the signaling ...
