The team used human stem cells to create embryo-like structures dubbed “hematoids” that mirror some features of early human ...

Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types. Now, using mouse stem cells instead of the usual sperm and egg, scientists have created a structure like a ...

Now, a team of researchers led by scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies has developed a novel platform to study kidney diseases, opening new avenues for the future application of ...

Researchers have found a new way to produce human blood cells in the lab that mimics the process in natural embryos.

Researchers worldwide conduct vital research involving the understanding of the very early development of humans inside the womb using human embryos. Research of the type uses surplus embryos donated ...

Scientists have found that reducing the size of tiny hair like structures on stem cells stops them turning into fat. The discovery could be used to develop a way of preventing obesity. Scientists have ...

Clusters of cells grown in the lab have been encouraged to produce human blood stem cells in a discovery that could one day ...

Two research teams in the last two months have published studies on kidney structures grown from stem cells, which might be a step toward personalized replacement organs grown from patients’ own cells ...

The human knee is a complex and problematic joint. I think it’s fair to say that it hasn’t adapted well to our greatly expanded life expectancy and trend towards obesity; painful osteoarthritis is the ...
