Stem cell research recently celebrated its 60th anniversary. Although the first publications in this field appeared in the early 1960s, it took another 20 years before the first embryonic stem cells ...

A newly discovered pair of stem cell lineages drives the formation of both tooth roots and the bone that anchors them. Understanding how these cells switch roles could pave the way for regenerating ...

Descriptions of the embryo go back at least to the time of Aristotle, but it has only been since the late 19 th century and early 20 th century that advances in experimental approaches allowed ...

The stem cell therapy market is witnessing strong growth driven by rising demand for regenerative medicine and advanced treatment options for chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and ...

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are the cornerstone of lifelong blood formation, arising during embryogenesis from specialised endothelial precursors in a process known as the ...

Using computer-designed proteins, researchers at the University of Washington (UW) School of Medicine have shown they can direct human stem cells to form new blood vessels in the lab. Their findings ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four ...

Explore the major milestones of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) research, from Shinya Yamanaka’s discovery to current ...

Scientist Elizabeth Ng is clutching a small flask with a clear mixture inside it that she’s just retrieved from inside a ...

The development of humans and other animals unfolds gradually over time, with cells taking on specific roles and functions via a process called cell fate determination. The fate of individual cells, ...
