Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as "miracle" cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in our bodies, promising revolutionary medical treatments. However, ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important type of human immune cell-known as helper T cells-from stem cells in a ...

When you were first conceived, you were a single cell. From this basic fact, we can extrapolate a few things, most especially that all the cells that make up your body today came (indirectly) from ...

Texas A&M researchers found a way to make stem cells produce double the normal number of mitochondria using nanoflower particles. These energized stem cells then transfer their surplus “power packs” ...
