Sickle cell disease is often thought of solely as a blood disorder, but new research from the Wood Neuro Research Group ...

Human pluripotent stem-cells (HPSCs)—including human embryonic stem-cells and human induced pluripotent stem-cells—are reshaping the landscape of regenerative medicine.1,2 In Parkinson's disease, ...

Erythritol may impair cellular functions essential to maintaining brain blood vessel health, according to researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder. Findings suggest that erythritol increases ...

Researchers from the University of California San Diego Sanford Stem Cell Institute have discovered that spaceflight accelerates the aging of human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), ...

The federal government is looking for researchers who can, in 5 years, develop stem cell treatments to repair brain damage caused by stroke, neurodegeneration, and trauma. The Functional Repair of ...

A first-in-human trial shows the feasibility and safety of delivering placenta-derived stem cells during prenatal ...

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it takes for cells to behave in desired ways—for example, getting them to produce ...

How much of our genome really matters? Some argue that because most of our DNA is active, it must be doing something important. Others say even random DNA would be highly active. This has now been put ...

A naturally occurring byproduct of liver metabolism—the ketone body, β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB)—can strengthen the fitness and antitumor activity of CAR T cells. The findings, reported on March 6, 2026 ...

Researchers 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 weeks after fertilization. This is ...
