Very small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs) are a rare and intriguing subpopulation of adult stem cells that exhibit molecular signatures reminiscent of embryonic stem cells. Identified in various ...

Multipotent dental stem cells can give rise to various cell types and show potential for treating injuries, diabetes, and ...

From the moment an embryo starts to take shape, two-way communication is critical for making sure tissues and organs develop ...

Stem cells can self-renew and differentiate into a wide variety of cell types, making them critical components in embryonic development. In adults, stem cell populations, such as those in the ...

Welcome to Lab Dish, a First Opinion column on regenerative medicine from Paul Knoepfler. Twenty years ago, the use of human embryonic stem cells in research was among the most fiercely debated topics ...

The earliest days after fertilization, once a sperm cell meets an egg, are shrouded in scientific mystery. The process of how a humble single cell becomes an organism fascinates scientists across ...

Although embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have been successfully derived from mice and rats, efforts to establish chimeric and germline-competent ESC lines in species beyond rodents have been unsuccessful.

Kylie Jenner is the latest A-lister hopping on the stem cell therapy bandwagon. The 28-year-old mom of two revealed that she recently underwent the procedure in the hopes of easing the “bad chronic ...

At Yale, researchers are using stem cells to grow brain organoids for psychiatric research, regenerate tissues for cancer patients and reprogram blood to reverse immune aging. Despite political ...

Egg whites may be perfect for a health-conscious breakfast, but egg yolks turned out to be the key ingredient for cultivating bird embryonic stem cells (ESCs) in the lab. Using a growing medium of egg ...
