Tissue-specific “adult” stem cells that are capable of both self-renewal and specialized tissue repair reside in certain tissues, such as the epidermis, limbal tissue of the eye, skeletal muscle, and ...

The discovery of a gene essential to early embryonic development sheds light on the preliminary stages of human placenta formation. A team led by scientists from the University of California San Diego ...

The earliest days after fertilization, once a sperm cell meets an egg, are shrouded in scientific mystery. The process of how a humble single cell becomes an organism fascinates scientists across ...

Changes in cellular metabolites have been shown to regulate embryonic stem cell development at the earliest stages of life. Metabolites are simple compounds generated during life-sustaining chemical ...

It took seven days for Haruko Obokata and her team to learn that they might have rewritten the rules of biology. Working with a bunch of blood cells obtained from newborn mouse spleens, the group ...

June 4 -- WEDNESDAY, June 3 (HealthDay News) -- Using cells from pig ears and bone marrow, researchers in China generated a type of stem cell capable of developing into any type of cell in the body.

A small shift in nutrient supply has led to the development of a new method to rejuvenate stem cells. Scientists at the University of Copenhagen found that these “super stem cells” remain healthier in ...
