Our blood consists of many cell types that develop through different stages from a precursor type—the blood stem cell. An ...

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

Scientists have developed a breakthrough technique to directly convert skin cells into neurons, bypassing the need for stem ...

A mum whose friend's death from leukaemia prompted her to bank stem cells from her newborn's umbilical cord has described it ...

The study evaluated 14 patients that were treated with cultivated autologous limbal epithelial cells (CALEC) and followed ...

Stem cell therapy has emerged as a groundbreaking treatment option for corneal injuries, offering hope to individuals ...

UCSC scientists have used CRISPR to develop programmable embryoids that can be used to study early embryo development and ...

Researchers devised a process to convert a skin cell directly into a neuron, eliminating the need to generate induced pluripotent stem cells. Such neurons could be used to treat spinal cord injuries ...

A new process for converting skin cells to neurons directly could make it easier to develop therapies for neurodegenerative disorders.
