A paralysed man can stand on his own after receiving an injection of neural stem cells to treat his spinal cord injury. The ...

The earliest days after fertilization, once a sperm cell meets an egg, are shrouded in scientific mystery. The process of how ...

A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — ...

First Mouse With Two Male Parents to Reach Adulthood Jan. 28, 2025 — A team of stem cell scientists have successfully used embryonic stem cell engineering to create a bi-paternal mouse -- a ...

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 ...

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

One of the most amazing things to happen in biology in the last couple of years is cellular reprogramming. We learned how to ...

In a potentially major breakthrough for regenerative medicine, scientists at MIT have developed a way to convert skin cells ...

In May 2024, the CDC reported that three Americans who received embryonic stem cell injections in Mexico were infected with a serious, highly drug-resistant form of bacteria related to those that ...

Researchers at MIT have devised a simplified process to convert a skin cell directly into a neuron. The new method bypasses ...

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 ...

Only a few universities nationwide, including the University of Southern California and Harvard, offer courses that allow ...
