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 ...

Researchers led by Osaka University in Japan have conducted the first human trial using induced pluripotent stem-cell-derived corneal epithelium to treat limbal stem cell deficiency, offering a ...

To date, more than 100 clinical trials with human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived products have been initiated worldwide ...

Spaceflight makes certain human stem cells age faster, a new study has found, furthering scientists’ understanding of the potential effects of space exploration on the human body. Stem cells are found ...

Senescent “zombie” cells are linked to aging and multiple diseases, but spotting them in living tissue has been notoriously ...

Using laboratory-evolved versions of CRISPR-associated transposases (CASTs) from bacteria, scientists at the Broad Institute and Columbia University were able to insert healthy genes into human cells ...

In a recent perspective article published in the journal Nature Communications, over 30 scientists from around the world discussed the action plans and principles of the global scientific initiative ...

Biomedical researchers at Texas A&M University may have discovered a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular energy production—a finding that could have revolutionary effects across ...

Scientists have discovered that H5N1, the strain of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus currently spreading in U.S. dairy cows, only needs a single mutation to readily latch on to human cells ...
