A cancer drug class best known for attacking tumors may also help your immune system remember them better. Researchers at ...

A mature cell of one type can be turned into a mature cell of another type without the cell having to pass through an earlier stage of development. This is called direct reprogramming, a reliable but ...

LISBON, March 5 (Xinhua) -- Scientists have successfully created anti-tumor immune cells in a laboratory using cellular reprogramming for the first time, opening new possibilities in the fight against ...

A team led by researchers has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other areas of the body, called neural crest stem cells, are the source of reprogrammed neurons found by other ...

Regenerative medicines are headed for people with Parkinson’s disease or severe heart failure — but researchers are concerned about minimal clinical-trial data.

The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) is pleased to announce that Alexander Meissner, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics, Germany, has been named the ...

A groundbreaking clinical trial is testing whether specially engineered stem cells can help the brain restore its own dopamine production in people with Parkinson’s disease. Because the condition is ...

A team led by researchers at the University of Toronto has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other areas of the body, called neural crest stem cells, are the source of ...

Parvalbumin (PV) interneurons act as the brain’s rhythm keepers. By regulating local circuit activity and maintaining excitation–inhibition balance, they help stabilize cortical network function. When ...

Pair showed that adult cells can be reprogrammed to an embryonic state. I think that all Nobel prize winners should sport badass hair like this Gurdon guy. On a more serious note, this is an awesome ...

Researchers in Japan have developed a form of stem cell therapy that "reverses" paralysis. Though the treatment has only seen a 50% success rate so far, two of the four people who received it have ...
