Researchers established a new model to study neuromuscular development and disorders. For the first time two distinct human tissues co-developed in the lab from one progenitor cell type and self-organized into a complex, functional neuromuscular organoid

Scientists have found a way to induce totipotency in embryonic cells that have already matured into pluripotency. This has great potential to improve cell engineering capabilities for regenerative medicine therapeutics

Study identifies a possible new way to convince pluripotent cells to make hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). And, ironically, a possible way to do this lies in magnifying a gene that causes a form of childhood leukemia

The advance could lead to a patient’s own skin cells being used to produce new cells for cancer immunotherapy or to test autoimmune disease interventions
