In order to reprogram readily available cells into specific immune cells that fight various diseases, one must know the "recipe" for the transformation. Researchers at Lund University have now created ...

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 ...

Promising mouse studies and billions of dollars in funding are stoking excitement. But we’ve been here before. Earlier this week, Life Biosciences, a biotech company focused on reversing age-related ...

The ability to reprogram adult somatic cells into human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), and to differentiate them into nearly any cell type in vitro, has revolutionized cell biology. hiPSCs ...

EPFL researchers have uncovered how transcription factor dosage reshapes cell identity, showing that even small differences in dose can steer cells toward completely different fates. Their findings ...

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 ...

A man who was fully paralyzed is now able to stand after receiving an injection of reprogrammed stem cells into his injured spinal cord. The result, announced by researchers in Japan, marks a rare and ...
