Blood cells made from a stem cell, for instance, often have a 70 per cent higher affinity for oxygen because they are intended for the fetus, which has to "suck its oxygen from the mother during ...

Lab grown models of embryos, made from clusters of stem cells, are getting increasingly complex. Ethicists, regulators and ...

Stem cell research is at the edge of contemporary medicine, where scientists have shown great hope that it brings the ...

Their results are published in the leading stem cell journal Cell Stem Cell. “We as scientists are interested in recreating and repurposing natural phenomena, such as formation of an embryo, in the ...

Find out how leukemia cells affect the treatment of pediatric patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and acute ...

A research team led by Professor Takuya Yamamoto and Assistant Professor Ryusaku Matsumoto (Department of Life Science ...

Mouse olfactory organoids revealed stem cells that preserve smell, offering clues to treat age- and disease-related smell ...

Stem cells exist in a 'ground' state before something triggers them to develop into functional cells such as liver, heart or blood cells. What sparks that change has a lot to do with how, when and in ...

Scientists have found a control switch that regulates the way stem cells stem develop into any type of cell in the human body. Called pluripotency, this capacity is regulated by a single event in a ...
