A paralysed man can stand on his own after receiving an injection of neural stem cells to treat his spinal cord injury. The ...

The earliest days after fertilization, once a sperm cell meets an egg, are shrouded in scientific mystery. The process of how ...

First Mouse With Two Male Parents to Reach Adulthood Jan. 28, 2025 — A team of stem cell scientists have successfully used embryonic stem cell engineering to create a bi-paternal mouse -- a ...

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — ...

Our blood consists of many cell types that develop through different stages from a precursor type—the blood stem cell. An ...

UCSC scientists have used CRISPR to develop programmable embryoids that can be used to study early embryo development and ...

In a potentially major breakthrough for regenerative medicine, scientists at MIT have developed a way to convert skin cells ...

Researchers at MIT have devised a simplified process to convert a skin cell directly into a neuron. The new method bypasses ...

Our blood consists of many cell types that develop through different stages from a precursor type -- the blood stem cell. An international research team has now investigated the developmental pathways ...
