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

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

A mature cell of one type can be turned into a mature cell of another type without the cell having to pass through an earlier stage of development. This is called direct reprogramming, a reliable but ...

A team led by researchers at the University of Toronto has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other areas of the body, called neural crest stem cells, are the source of ...

Researchers developed a way to directly reprogram human glial cells into PV interneurons without passing through a stem‑cell stage.

Clonell launches the world’s first patient-specific embryonic stem cell therapy platform, aimed at incurable diseases with ...

Researchers in Japan have developed a form of stem cell therapy that "reverses" paralysis. Though the treatment has only seen a 50% success rate so far, two of the four people who received it have ...

Aside from reprogramming and transdifferentiation, the longer-existing approach to generating neurons and NSCs has been differentiating them from pluripotent cells, initially from embryonic stem cells ...

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have created a method that makes it possible to transform the brain's support cells ...

Life begins with a tiny orchestra of stem cells, setting the stage for the body’s grand symphony of development. As the performance unfolds, a dynamic interplay of factors takes center stage, ...
