Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types. Now, using mouse stem cells instead of the usual sperm and egg, scientists have created a structure like a ...

Scientists have found that reducing the size of tiny hair like structures on stem cells stops them turning into fat. The discovery could be used to develop a way of preventing obesity. Scientists have ...

Now, a team of researchers led by scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies has developed a novel platform to study kidney diseases, opening new avenues for the future application of ...

Researchers worldwide conduct vital research involving the understanding of the very early development of humans inside the womb using human embryos. Research of the type uses surplus embryos donated ...

The human knee is a complex and problematic joint. I think it’s fair to say that it hasn’t adapted well to our greatly expanded life expectancy and trend towards obesity; painful osteoarthritis is the ...

A USC Stem Cell-led research team has achieved a major step forward in the effort to build mouse and human synthetic kidneys.

A natural material derived from crustacean shell and algae supports the growth of human embryonic stem cells. Medical researchers were shocked to discover that virtually all human embryonic stem cell ...

Caltech researchers have developed a powerful new method for creating embryo-like structures from stem cells that could ...

Two research teams in the last two months have published studies on kidney structures grown from stem cells, which might be a step toward personalized replacement organs grown from patients’ own cells ...
