Oscillation in muscle tissue
When a muscle grows or a muscle injury heals, some of the stem cells develop into new muscle cells. A research team has now described how this process is regulated
Increasingly complex mini-brains
Scientists produce brain organoids with primitive eyes using computational fluid dynamics
The development of brain stem cells into new nerve cells
Stem cells are true “jacks-of-all-trades” of our bodies, as they can turn into the many different cell types of all organs
Human cells can change job to fight diabetes
For the first time, researchers have shown that ordinary human cells can change their original function
Stem cell study offers clues for optimizing transplants
After radiation, a small number of blood stem cells make an outsized contribution to reconstituting the blood and immune system
Enzyme might provide “molecular radar” for early detection of cancers
Stem cell enzyme may provide a kind of molecular radar for early detection of malignancies and represent a new therapeutic target for preventing cancer cell resistance
Honeybee protein keeps stem cells youthful
An active protein component of royal jelly helps honeybees create new queens. Researchers have identified a similar protein in mammals, which keeps cultured embryonic stem cells pluripotent
Microneedle patch heals heart attack damage
A biocompatible microneedle patch containing cardiac stromal cells successfully repairs cardiac function in injured animal hearts
