Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are the cornerstone of lifelong blood formation, arising during embryogenesis from specialised endothelial precursors in a process known as the ...

Descriptions of the embryo go back at least to the time of Aristotle, but it has only been since the late 19 th century and early 20 th century that advances in experimental approaches allowed ...

A study in mice has found that maternal gut microbiome composition during pregnancy has long-term effects on offspring stem cell growth and development. The researchers, headed by Parag Kundu, PhD, at ...

GEN Live panelists will explore how stem cells are transforming disease modeling, drug discovery, and personalized medicine with perspectives on clinical trial progress and hurdles such as ...

Microscopy image of a PGA at day 8 showing the early tissues supporting the embryo, including the amniotic sac and the yolk sac-like structures, surrounded by (extra-embryonic) mesoderm tissue.

Stem cells work throughout our lives as a sort of handyman, repairing damaged tissues and renewing some normal ones, like the skin we shed. Scientists have come to understand much about how stem cells ...

Researchers have created a way to guide and control the development of stem cells into specific tissues and organs, opening the door to developing a means of one day tackling complex diseases like ...

The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) has released "Charting the Translational Pathway: ISSCR Best Practices for the Development of Pluripotent Stem Cell (PSC)-Derived Therapies," a ...

The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) and the Stem Cell Network (SCN) today announced the appointment of an international working group comprising trainees and early career ...

A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — plays a vital, overlooked role in the first steps of life. Each of us starts ...
