When you were first conceived, you were a single cell. From this basic fact, we can extrapolate a few things, most especially that all the cells that make up your body today came (indirectly) from ...

Orthopedic non-invasive stem cell therapy regenerates damaged tissue rather than just improving symptoms. Autologous stem cell therapy uses cells from your own body, minimizing rejection risks.

Your skin is in a constant state of reinvention. Every month, your body sheds and regenerates its entire outer layer—a complete turnover powered by tiny, tireless stem cells. These same cells spring ...

Scientists have identified one mechanism that explains how some stem cells choose to become a given cell type: the cells combine specific sets of proteins at precise positions along the DNA. When ...

Stem cells are the body’s ultimate shape-shifters, sustaining tissues by balancing two competing demands: maintaining their own population and generating specialized descendants. In many tissues, some ...

Scientists in Melbourne have discovered how tiny electrical pulses can steer stem cells as they grow, opening the door to new improved ways of creating new tissues, organs, nerves and bones. Dr Amy ...

One continuing challenge is the need to suppress transplant patients' immune systems to prevent their bodies from rejecting the transplant. Genetic engineering to prevent rejection has long been ...

Scientists at the University of California, Irvine's School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences have discovered how muscle stem cells "flip a switch" to rebuild damaged muscle – a finding that could ...

Scientists at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) and their colleagues are shedding new light on a tumor's earliest ...

Two new studies suggest that Parkinson's disease can potentially be treated with stem cells placed in a patient's brain. NPR's Jon Hamilton reports that the studies show that scientists are close to ...

Kylie Jenner announced Wednesday that she has been undergoing stem cell therapy to alleviate her chronic back pain. The therapy, often used for bone marrow transplants, collects stem cells from living ...
