A new study has uncovered how an exceptionally scarce protein can orchestrate the assembly of large-scale gene-silencing structures inside cells, and what happens when that process breaks down. The ...

Speaking at a recent meeting of the British Pharmacological Society in Brighton, UK, Christine Mummery described how using embryonic stem cells to create human heart cells could b ...

A single infusion of stem cells helped frail older adults walk significantly farther.

Getting old doesn't have to mean getting frail. A landmark trial suggests stem cells can reverse the physical decline of ageing ...

Researchers use single-cell analysis to show how transplanted neural stem cells interact with the retina to preserve vision in retinitis pigmentosa.

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 ...

A new study from WashU Medicine identifies a previously unknown way that cells purge waste in a process that helps them revert to a stem cell-like state to promote healing after injury. Here, three ...

When injured, cells have well-regulated responses to promote healing. These include a long-studied self-destruction process that cleans up dead and damaged cells as well as a more recently identified ...

Explore the critical challenges faced by aplastic anaemia patients in India due to a lack of stem cell donors.
