Building functional human muscle in the laboratory has long been a goal of regenerative medicine, but one stubborn obstacle ...

Scientists at Kumamoto University have made a major breakthrough in regenerative medicine by successfully creating functional ureter tissue—organoids resembling the urinary tract—from pluripotent stem ...

Researchers have developed a method to direct stem cells to form specific structures. By triggering the expression of specific genes in mouse embryonic stem cells, synthetic organizer cells were ...

Personalized therapies for diabetes, while showing promise in international studies, is met with healthy skepticism from ...

Dissociating tissues into single cells is a core laboratory technique and vital for widely used applications such as next-generation sequencing or flow cytometry. Scientists who employ tissue ...

Weight loss is notoriously hard to maintain. Within a few years most people regain the pounds they initially lose, whether through dieting, exercise, surgery or weight-loss medications such as the ...

Japan has approved two stem cell-based therapies for treating Parkinson's disease and heart failure in a world first, through ...

In the quest to live forever, scientists have explored all kinds of unusual avenues. Cryopreservation is a popular talking point, but we humans and our delicate cells don’t deal well with freezing.

How does a tiny cluster of cells become an embryo with a head, trunk, and tail? And how do thousands of genes coordinate this development? A new imaging method makes it possible to visualize the ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists led by Joseph Bass, MD, Ph.D., the Charles F. Kettering Professor of Endocrinology and ...
