Researchers have identified potential drug targets in glioblastoma cancer stem cells, providing a new approach to treat this ...

Neural crest stem cells, a rare type found in skin and other tissues, are uniquely capable of reprogramming into different ...

Stem cells are specialized cells that have the potential to develop into not one but many different types of cell. They are unlike any other cell for three specific reasons: They are unspecialized, ...

Nov. 4, 2024 — Stem cells grown in microgravity aboard the International Space Station (ISS) have unique qualities that could one day help accelerate new biotherapies and heal complex disease ...

Mesenchymal stem cells are multipotent adult stem cells that are present in multiple tissues, including umbilical cord, bone marrow and fat tissue. Mesenchymal stem cells can self-renew by ...

Muscle stem cells are adult stem cells, present in skeletal muscle tissue, which can self-renew and are capable of giving rise to skeletal muscle cells. These stem cells are activated in response ...

eLife is a non-profit organisation inspired by research funders and led by scientists. Our mission is to help scientists accelerate discovery by operating a platform for research communication that ...

Aging is inevitable for most cell types in the human body, but hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) seem to defy the process. They retain their self-renewing ability almost throughout an organism’s ...

Microglia, the defense cells of the brain, are an integral component of the characteristic SVZ microenvironment and govern the behavior of the neural stem cells.

The Oregon Stem Cell Center conducts basic and applied research in the field of Stem Cell Biology with the long term goal to harness the properties of stem cells for regenerative medicine and cell ...

The Stem Cell and Organoid Core provides researchers with access to high-quality, human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), adult tissue-derived stem cells, and stem cell and tissue-derived ...
