Nature Medicine, Published online: 12 August 2026; doi:10.1038/s41591-026-04619-9 Editorial Expression of Concern: Evidence from a genetic fate-mapping study that stem cells refresh adult mammalian cardiomyocytes after injury

Dr. Abba Zubair discusses how stem cell research aboard the International Space Station is advancing regenerative medicine and what scientists learned from a recently published study. Episode 432 The post ISS Results: Stem Cells in Space appeared first on NASA Science .

Nature, Published online: 03 August 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-02339-1 A combination of drugs restores stem-cell function in mouse models of the blood disorder.

He makes sure to tell people he did not make embryos. Friends, I did NOT create a human clone. What I did create are induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) — cells that can potentially become many different cell types and may one day help repair the body. It’s one of the most promising technologies in […]

A new genomic atlas gives researchers a cheat sheet for steering stem cells toward curing disease.

A gentler stem cell transplant rejuvenated aging blood and immune systems in mice. Imagine storing your own healthy blood stem cells while young, then receiving them decades later to refresh the systems that produce blood and support immunity. That possibility remains speculative for people, but researchers have shown that young stem cells can rejuvenate these [...]

Can aging be reversed? Dr. Michael West explains telomerase, cellular immortality, stem cells, tissue regeneration, and the future of longevity. LifeCraft Sciences: https://lifecraftsciences.com/ In this episode, I sit down with pioneering molecular gerontologist and biotechnology entrepreneur Dr. Michael D. West to explore telomeres, telomerase, cellular senescence, stem cells, tissue regenerati…

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.
