For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important ...

Researchers have unlocked a way to grow the immune system’s “conductors” from stem cells, bringing ready-made cancer-fighting therapies a big step closer. For the first time, scientists at the Univers ...

Researchers have developed a method to confidently produce blood cell precursors from stem cells in mice, by activating a set of seven key genes in the laboratory. The team takes a step forward ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that replicate certain aspects of very early human development - including the ...

Funding supports safety studies, manufacturing and clinical planning needed before applying to test the treatment in patients ...

The New York Stem Cell Foundation, a $23-million-a-year biomedical nonprofit, was acquired by the Jackson Laboratory as part of a move to expand automation in life sciences research. The acquisition, ...

As we age, our immune system quietly loses its edge, and scientists have uncovered a surprising reason why. A protein called ...

In the battle against type 1 diabetes (T1D), one researcher at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) is leading a ...

Technologies at the Advanced Rodent Transgenics Laboratory include genome editing design and implementation and transgenic ...

Chronic kidney disease can quietly reshape a life long before the first lab test comes back abnormal. More than 700 million ...

Gastric cancer cells can activate KRAS-driven signals, enabling autonomous tumor growth by producing their own WNT proteins. New research reveals how gastric cancer cells exploit WNT signaling for ...

Stem cells can produce any other cell type, it is just a matter of telling them in the right way. From a biological perspective, this means activating the proper genetic programme by pressing the ...
