stem-cells

3D bioprinting and stem cell research were the main research topics aboard the International Space Station on Thursday. The Expedition 74 crew members also photographed growing plants and lab windows for inspection while continuing to pack a U.S. cargo spacecraft.

Just one single cell will eventually become the trillions that make up the human body, consisting of hundreds of different types, each with its own unique task and function. From one cell comes blood, bone, skin, and hair. From one cell comes life.

Expedition 74 astronauts aboard the International Space Station are continuing research efforts to manufacture large quantities of stem cells for therapies on Earth. Previous studies have focused on fine-tuning hardware that allows scientists to produce greater quantities of high-quality stem cells. Now, the InSPA-StemCellEX-H2 investigation is aiming to demonstrate large scale production of bloo…

Scientists have discovered that transplanted stem cell-derived brain cells may do far more than simply survive after a stroke. A stem cell treatment helped mice recover from strokes by rebuilding damaged brain connections, restoring blood vessels, and improving movement, according to new research from the University of Zurich and the University of Southern California. The [...]

Muscle stem cells, which are crucial for building new muscle, don’t work as well as we get older, but giving them an artificial boost could rejuvenate them

Scientists from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and the HI-STEM* Stem Cell Institute have deciphered a key mechanism that contributes to treatment failure in acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Now, exciting new research from Kyoto University and collaborating institutions may open the door to better treatments for laryngeal regeneration. SOX9-positive basal cell in the epithelium and Lgr5-positive cell in the lamina propria of the vocal fold were identified as candidates for stem cells.

A single infusion of stem cells helped frail older adults walk significantly farther.

Researchers are using stem cells and nanotechnology to build a bridge for regrowing damaged spinal nerves.

Stem cells drive organogenesis and regeneration by supplying specialized cells for development, tissue maintenance, and repair. This overview highlights major stem cell types, their sources, and key stages of organ formation governed by stem cell activity.

About a decade ago, I started giving out stem cell hype awards, including one for a stem cells for stroke headline. It was way over the top: ‘Stanford researchers ‘stunned’ by stem cell experiment that helped stroke patient walk’. This is one of the most sensationalized stem cell headlines ever, but it’s not alone. What […] The post Stem cells for stroke hype awardee 10 years ago now tells a caut…

I had expected that there would be criminal charges related to stem cell clinics this year, but admittedly I didn’t see it coming in Utah. This was one of my 25 stem cell predictions for 2025. The stem cell clinic world has so much that is problematic. Where does something cross the line from perhaps […] The post Felony charges against 3 in Utah related to stem cells, undercover agents visited cl…

Insights about brain cell damage after stroke and repair after transplant could pave the way for therapies that extend the treatment window, a USC lab study reveals. The post Stem cell transplant for stroke leads to brain cell growth and functional recovery in study appeared first on USC .

Heading into college, the alum — now director at Allogene Therapeutics in San Francisco — was torn between engineering or doing something else. In the end, “I felt like there were way too many electrical and computer engineers in my family.” The post How Trojan Suhasni Gopalakrishnan ended up studying stem cells appeared first on USC .

It was another crazy week for me with tons of grant work, but news  and research in the regenerative medicine world keep on popping up including a paper on MSCs for MS. I’ve realized that even when I’m trying to take a short break, I often see science and signs of stem cells popping up […] The post Weekly reads: stem cells everywhere, MSCs for MS?, nanostickers, Makary update appeared first on Th…

Joe Rogan just keeps glowing about clinics offering unproven stem cells like most recently the Cellular Performance Institute in Tijuana. Often Joe talks about his own experiences getting stem cells, but other times he refers anecdotally to others who supposedly had great experiences. While it’s not unusual for some celebrities to get stem cells at […] The post Joe Rogan shows more love for unpro…

I’ve met people who are excited about using stem cells for Parkinson’s Disease. Some of these folks have Parkinson’s or are loved ones. Talking to them makes things real. It feel personal and not just scientific. The current treatment options are far away from what is needed for many people. I am optimistic that a […] The post Weekly reads: Parkinson’s & the gut, sports, cat stem cells appeared …
