A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

It felt like much of pop culture this year was running on pure adrenaline. Everything from music to film, fashion to memes and even politics seemed to collapse into one ongoing feed of viral spectacle ...

Texas A&M researchers found a way to make stem cells produce double the normal number of mitochondria using nanoflower particles. These energized stem cells then transfer their surplus “power packs” ...

Long before birth, the prenatal liver fosters the stem cells that will power our blood and immune systems for a lifetime. The fetal liver functions like a finely tuned incubator, providing the perfect ...

To many cancer biologists, the in vitro culturing of cancer cells and even tumors is so commonplace that we often don’t think twice about it. What does it take to grow cancer in a dish? As it turns ...

Although embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have been successfully derived from mice and rats, efforts to establish chimeric and germline-competent ESC lines in species beyond rodents have been unsuccessful.

The method could one day become a treatment for infertility A decade of further research needed, scientists say The process overcomes an obstacle that stymied previous attempts Significant safety ...

Healing from any injury involves a delicate balance between scarring and inflammation — two processes that can wreak havoc as well as make repairs. When the injury is to the brain, the balance is that ...

State Key Laboratory of Reproductive Regulation and Breeding of Grassland Livestock, School of Life Sciences, Inner Mongolia University, Hohhot, China Introduction: Skeletal muscle possesses a ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...
