Researchers led by Osaka University in Japan have conducted the first human trial using induced pluripotent stem-cell-derived ...

And they argue that scientists can achieve the same results using adult stem cells— immature cells found in bone marrow and other organs in adult human beings, as well as in umbilical cords ...

The use of the patient’s own adult stem cells minimizes the risk of adverse reactions and infections. The therapy promotes ...

The average human body is composed of about 37.2 trillion cells, which is 300 times the number of stars in our galaxy. All ...

Adult stem cells are cells in the adult that can both self-renew by dividing and give rise to more specialised cell types present in the tissue in which they reside. They serve to maintain and ...

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, researchers say. The ...

We're all very complex organisms, made up of lots of different types of cells carrying out different jobs in our bodies; such as nerve cells, blood cells, fat cells and muscle cells. So, where do ...

Techniques that cause multipotent adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to differentiate into cells of the chondrogenic lineage have led to a variety of experimental strategies to investigate ...
