If you wind back the clock on the different cells in our bodies, they'd all start life as one of just a few types of stem cells. Now, researchers from the University of Queensland have wound back the ...

Embryonic stem stem cells can develop into many different types of cell and could one day lead to regenerative treatments for various diseases. But they have limitations—taken from a fertilized egg ...

All stem cells are not created equal, a new study finds. Two distinct kinds of self-renewing blood cells have been spotted in mice, muddying a simplistic view of stem cell categories. Knowing how ...

In the new issue of Cell Stem Cell, scientists report that the same transcription factor, which is crucial for the survival of different stem cell types, can behave differently. This study clearly ...

In the brain of adult mammals neural stem cells ensure that new nerve cells, i.e. neurons, are constantly formed. This process, known as adult neurogenesis, helps mice maintain their sense of smell. A ...

Scientists have for the first time developed a technique for generating novel types of rat and human stem cells with characteristics similar to mouse embryonic stem cells, currently the predominant ...

NEW ORLEANS — The future of human embryonic stem cell research in Louisiana, where the Legislature has proven hostile to such work, may depend in large part on the interpretation of a state law passed ...

Insulin-making cells grown from stem cells glow green two weeks after they are transplanted into mice Insulin-making cells grown from stem cells glow green two weeks after they are transplanted into ...

A combination blood stem cell and pancreatic islet cell transplant from an immunologically mismatched donor completely ...

Are researchers getting closer to functionally curing type 1 diabetes? Image credit: Costfoto/NurPhoto via Getty Images. A woman with type 1 diabetes started producing her own insulin less than 3 ...
