In simple terms, stem cells that don’t build up enough of the NDRG1 protein eventually die off. What remains is a group of cells that repair muscle more slowly but are tougher and more resilient, able ...

Stem cell IVF could enable same-sex couples and single parents to have genetically related children. It’s time to think ...

The New York Stem Cell Foundation, a $23-million-a-year biomedical nonprofit, was acquired by the Jackson Laboratory as part of a move to expand automation in life sciences research. The acquisition, ...

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 ...

In the lab, it’s easier to grow simple balls of cells than complex asymmetrical structures with two distinct ends—like the one million filtering units, or nephrons, that make up a human kidney. But ...

More than one-sixth of adults around the world experience infertility in their lifetime. There is a high unmet need not only for increased access to affordable, high-quality fertility care for those ...

For decades, aging has looked like a one-way street, a slow accumulation of damage written into our cells. Now a wave of ...

Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based cancer therapy. Helper T cells act as the immune system’s coordinators, helping ...

Jackson Laboratory, a genetics and genomic medicine organization headquartered in Bar Harbor, was awarded up to $30.6 million over three years to create digital heart models. FILE PHOTO / COURTESY ...

Scientists have achieved a genetic feat once thought impossible: removing an entire extra human chromosome using gene-editing ...

A Paphos family has made an urgent appeal for a stem cell donor for the youngster Lucas Adamou, who has been battling cancer ...
