Children eligible for stem cell transplantation will have several preliminary appointments for tests and blood work scheduled before being admitted for transplant. These pre-transplant evaluations and ...

The cloning of embryos for generating stem cells, a process that holds promise for the future treatment of deadly diseases such as diabetes and Parkinson's, is delicate yet straightforward.

Virtually all organic material on Earth has been produced by cells that convert energy from the Sun into energy-containing macromolecules. This process, called photosynthesis, is essential to the ...

In a remarkable medical breakthrough, doctors have successfully used stem cells to treat a debilitating eye condition that ...

The Stem Cell Core provides access to a streamlined, IRB-approved consenting process for acquisition of patient samples and generation of pluripotent stem cells and stem cell-derivatives for basic and ...

In this study, we explore how these unique cell walls are assembled in healthy plant cells and also how this process goes wrong in mutants." Xylem tracheary elements (XTEs) are a type of cell that ...

Findings of study by Chinese scientists may help extend women’s reproductive lifespan as the average age of having children ...

“Surprisingly, there actually are very few new mutations in the stem cells arising through the transplant process,” says Spencer Chapman. That suggests transplant recipients’ cells age at a ...

Skeletal stem cells have been isolated from various tissues, including periosteum and bone marrow, where they exhibit key functions in bone biology and hematopoiesis, respectively. The role of ...
