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 ...

Zimislecel is an allogeneic stem cell-derived islet cell therapy that could eliminate the need for insulin in those who have ...

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 ...

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 ...

I attended the Global Wellness Summit in Dubai (my 13th consecutive, I think), which focused on transformative technologies that are making wellness for an extended lifetime more attainable. The use ...

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 ...

Paper in Cloning and Stem Cells shows that animal eggs do not support specific reprogramming toward the normal human embryonic state. Investigators at Advanced Cell Technology (ACTC) have found that ...

Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have found a new approach to the "reprogramming" of ordinary adult cells into stem cells. In a study published today in an Advance Online paper in ...

Aside from reprogramming and transdifferentiation, the longer-existing approach to generating neurons and NSCs has been differentiating them from pluripotent cells, initially from embryonic stem cells ...

Immune cells called B cells make antibodies that fight off invading bacteria, viruses and other foreign substances. During ...
