Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent stem cells that can produce all cell types of an organism. ES cells proliferate rapidly and have been thought to experience high levels of intrinsic ...

A new study led by Stephen D. Nimer, M.D., director of Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, shows how a key molecule regulates the ...

When nutrients run low, hair follicle stem cells can stop making hair and help repair the skin instead. A drop in the amino acid serine triggers this switch, accelerating wound healing.

Astrocytes shed their supportive role and unlock hidden neurogenic potential, offering new hope for brain injury recovery through cutting-edge epigenetic reprogramming. Study: DNA methylation controls ...

A new way to grow stem cells may help them release more of the signaling proteins they use to repair tissue, potentially improving future treatments. Scientists have developed a technique that aligns ...

Penn Medicine researchers unveiled in a recently published paper that a type of stem cell originating in skeletal muscle cells can turn into bone. Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy ...

“Space is the ultimate stress test for the human body,” Catriona Jamieson, director of UC San Diego’s Sanford Stem Cell Institute, said. That stress, as new research reveals, imparts a molecular ...
