The combination of placenta-derived stem cells (PMSCs) with standard in utero repair for severe spina bifida appears feasible and safe, with no cell-related adverse events observed at birth, a ...

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive form of blood cancer. It affects people of all ages but is most common in those over 65. Around 150 people are diagnosed with the disease each year in ...

Scientists in China have unveiled a breakthrough way to mass-produce powerful cancer-fighting immune cells in the lab. By engineering early-stage stem cells from cord blood—rather than trying to ...

A newly identified protein may hold the key to rejuvenating aging brain cells. Researchers found that boosting DMTF1 can restore the ability of neural stem cells to regenerate, even when age-related ...

A newly developed synthetic cell matrix could provide a surface on which to culture and differentiate billions of delicate stem cells for medical uses. For decades, scientists have been exploring ...
