Scientists from the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) of the University of Luxembourg and from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) have been able to rejuvenate stem cells... Read more
A drug treatment that mimics fasting can also provide the same benefit, study finds As people age, their intestinal stem cells begin to lose their ability to regenerate. These stem cells are... Read more
A team of researchers at Sahlgrenska Academy has managed to generate cartilage tissue by printing stem cells using a 3D-bioprinter. The fact that the stem cells survived being printed in thi... Read more
Goal is vaccine that targets inflammation in joints Using new gene-editing technology, researchers have rewired mouse stem cells to fight inflammation caused by arthritis and other chronic c... Read more
Researchers looking for ways to regenerate nerves can have a hard time obtaining key tools of their trade. Schwann cells are an example. They form sheaths around axons, the tail-like parts o... Read more
The discovery may lead to treatments for atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s and other age-related disorders The fountain of youth may reside in an embryonic stem cell gene named Nano... Read more
Researchers look for better ways to reduce memory loss in people with age-related disorders Although brains—even adult brains—are far more malleable than we used to think, they are eventuall... Read more
Stem cell therapies capable of regenerating any human tissue damaged by injury, disease or ageing could be available within a few years, following breakthrough research led by UNSW researche... Read more
International scientists set up a rescue plan for the worldwide last three northern white rhinos (Ceratotherium simum cottoni). The goal is to use the remaining three rhinos and tissue sampl... Read more
Findings can lead to gut replacement therapy in people with intestinal deficiencies Working with gut stem cells from humans and mice, scientists from the Johns Hopkins Children’s Cente... Read more
Scientists say they are a step closer to growing fully functioning replacement kidneys, after promising results in animals. When transplanted into pigs and rats, the kidneys worked, passing... Read more
Protection from chemotherapy immunosuppression indicates effect could be conserved in humans In the first evidence of a natural intervention triggering stem cell-based regeneration of an org... Read more
“We were able to show that transplantation of the old treated muscle stem cell population repaired the damage and restored strength to injured muscles of old mice” Researchers at the Stanfor... Read more
