Stem cells can be unipotent, multipotent, pluripotent or totipotent, depending on the number of cell types to which they can give rise. Modelling definitive haematopoiesis in organoids has been ...

The plasticity of stem cells, or their ability to change into other cells, declines as the degree of specialization increases. A unipotent stem cell can develop into only one type of cell. During the ...

Neuroscientists have uncovered a mechanism that controls the reactivation of neural stem cells, which are crucial for repairing and regenerating brain cells. The research offers exciting potential for ...

Organ-on-chips are ... Stem Cell Transplants Close Macular Holes in Monkeys Oct. 3, 2024 — Human stem cell transplants successfully repaired macular holes in a monkey model, researchers report.

And they argue that scientists can achieve the same results using adult stem cells— immature cells found in bone marrow and other organs in adult human beings, as well as in umbilical cords ...

An international team of neuroscientists, led by Duke-NUS Medical School, have uncovered a mechanism that controls the reactivation of neural stem cells, which are crucial for repairing and ...

Researchers at Kumamoto University have achieved a groundbreaking advancement in stem cell biology by reproducing the ...

Emerging studies over the last decade have pointed to a potential cure using stem cells, which have the special ability to grow and differentiate into different types of cells. Scientists ...

In June 2023, Peking University researchers successfully reversed type 1 diabetes in a patient, opening the possibility of a ...

Stem cell or bone marrow transplants can be life-saving for people living with certain cancers and blood disorders. However, finding a suitable donor is often complicated and time-consuming.

Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own. William A. Haseltine, Ph.D., covers genomics and regenerative medicine This story is part of a series on the current progression in ...

If cells are removed from the embryo they will differentiate into any cell type. These are called embryonic stem cells. Some stem cells remain in the bodies of adults as adult stem cells.
