Welcome to our monthly trawl for developmental and stem cell biology (and related) preprints. The post May in preprints appeared first on the Node .

IntroductionMicroglia are brain-resident immune cells responsible for maintaining homeostasis, coordinating responses to injury and disease, and mediating regeneration. Upon activation, they undergo dynamic changes in morphology, gene expression, and function, reflecting the nature and context of the stimuli encountered. Although pharmacological modulation of microglia holds great promise for tre…

The research team found that hematopoietic stem cells are highly sensitive to oxygen.

Many stem cell biologists plan to head to Montreal in July for the annual meeting of the ISSCR. The two program chairs Dr Fiona Doetsch from the University of Basel and Dr Nozomu Yachie from the University of British Columbia who has a lab at the University of Osaka, too, kindly gave a sneak-peek.

A ‘stemness checkpoint’ helps control stem cell identity A study published in Cell Research advances a central idea in stem cell biology by identifying a checkpoint that controls the identity of many different types of stem cells across develo

The stem cell niche is one of my favorite areas of research that I don’t actually work on directly. At least my lab hasn’t studied it much so far. My sense is that many scientists have favorite areas of research that they don’t actually study themselves. Do you have an area of research that particularly […] The post Weekly reads: the stem cell niche, tongue stem cells, autoimmune diseases appeare…

This story is part of our celebration of innovation in 2024.   by Dana D’Amico, Connect to Science Dr. Jeanne Loring and the San Diego Zoo hope to revive the northern white rhinoceros and create a blueprint for stem cell-based conservation   Marisa Korody arrived at the lab one day in 2021 to find The post Back from the Brink: Can Stem Cells Rewind Extinction? appeared first on Life in the Lab .

I often learn about new supposedly stem cell-related products like the LifeWave X39 Patch from readers. Sometimes such products are used by tens of thousands of people, in my view potentially raising risks to the public. If nothing else, people might be spending their money on something that isn’t worth it. As a stem cell biologist, […] The post LifeWave X39 stem cell patch story has holes appear…

What is a stem cell niche? It’s the home of stem cells. The stem cell niche is a fascinating environment. It has many constituents that impact stem cell behavior and even eventual stem cell transplant functions. In today’s weekly reads, we’ll start with the niche as there have been several interesting papers on this topic. The […] The post Weekly reads: stem cell niche & AI stumble on health appe…

This research analyzes several experiments observing the efficacy and safety of stem cell therapy on animal subjects and human fibroblasts with Parkinson’s disease. This paper also considers stem cell therapy’s ethical and financial implications, alongside the projected results, including increased survival rates and significant symptomatic relief of subjects.

It’s always great to read about stem cell clinical trials that are looking encouraging. Stem cell clinical trials Proving a new therapy is safe and effective is so challenging. Remarkably, there are more than 9,300 stem cell clinical trials listed for a “stem cell” search on Clinicaltrials.gov. Of course, not all of these are actual […] The post Weekly reads: upbeat stem cell clinical trials upda…

22 August 2022 Sally Lowell is a developmental and stem cell biologist at the University of Edinburgh, UK. “My group is interested in how cells build embryos and tissues, and how we can control the behaviour of these cells in culture,” she explained. She is particularly interested in the local ‘conversations’ that cells have when […] The post Meet our Directors: Sally Lowell appeared first on The…
