The finding in the study by researchers at the Broad Stem Cell Research Center involves a class of genes whose properties previously were thought to be unimportant for stem cell function. Most ...

Researchers have carried out pioneering efforts to optimize the functionality of pancreatic cells produced from stem cells. In a new study, the group has demonstrated that stem cells can form ...

New research has shown that stem cells in the lineage plasticity state are unable to capably function as either type of stem cell until they have selected an identity. Retinoic acid, the biologically ...

Scientists have identified a type of stem cell that appears to be responsible for the neurons involved in higher brain function. The discovery may pave the way for new treatments for autism and ...

A new federal initiative seeks to develop stem cell treatments and other technology to repair brain tissue damaged by stroke, trauma, or neurodegeneration.
