Researchers discovered a new way to create induced trophoblast stem cells (iTSCs) that can be used to make placenta cells
A new discovery in regenerative medicine
Stem Cells
Researchers grow functioning blood vessels from scratch
Researchers describe a new method for engineering blood vessels that can carry blood and adapt to their surrounding tissue, setting the stage for more complex organs and tissues to be grown in the lab
Diabetes-in-a-dish model uncovers new insights into the cause of diabetes
Researchers have developed a novel “disease-in-a-dish” model to study the basic molecular factors that lead to the development of type 2 diabetes
Stem cells can repair Parkinson’s-damaged circuits in mouse brains
Researchers found that neurons derived from stem cells can connect with native neurons and restore motor functions
Organoids produce embryonic heart
Bioengineers have used organoids – tiny lab-grown organs – to mimic the early development of the heart in the mouse embryo. The work is another step towards future bioartificial organs for research and transplants
A patch that could help heal broken hearts
Researchers have developed a cardiac patch with tiny engineered blood vessels that improved recovery from MI in rats and pigs
Stem cell sheets harvested in just two days
A team has developed a thermoresponsive nanotopography cell culture platform
Magnetic scaffolds trigger tendon regeneration
Polymer scaffolds embedded with magnetic nanoparticles trigger stem cell differentiation and tendon regeneration
Researchers develop new biomaterial that helps bones heal faster
Scientists have developed a new biomaterial that helps bones heal faster by enhancing adults’ stem cell regenerative ability
