When you were first conceived, you were a single cell. From this basic fact, we can extrapolate a few things, most especially that all the cells that make up your body today came (indirectly) from ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

It’s not every day that high school students get the chance to look at a brain organoid under a microscope or use a laser table or hear about stem cell research in microgravity. But because stem cell ...

A new study describes a technique that rejuvenates aging blood-forming stem cells and could help reduce the risk of age-related blood disorders.

Texas A&M researchers found a way to make stem cells produce double the normal number of mitochondria using nanoflower particles. These energized stem cells then transfer their surplus “power packs” ...

Scientists in China have unveiled a breakthrough way to mass-produce powerful cancer-fighting immune cells in the lab. By ...

This post was updated April 6 at 11:31 p.m. Scientists and students gathered for the UCLA Broad Stem Cell Research Center’s inaugural Women in Stem Cell Science Symposium on March 6. The center hosted ...
