A man who was fully paralyzed is now able to stand after receiving an injection of reprogrammed stem cells into his injured spinal cord. The result, announced by researchers in Japan, marks a rare and ...

Explore the major milestones of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) research, from Shinya Yamanaka’s discovery to current ...

A team led by researchers at the University of Toronto has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other areas of the body, called neural crest stem cells, are the source of ...

Scientists at University of California San Diego have developed a new approach to destroying cancer stem cells – hard-to-find cells that help cancers spread, come back after treatment and resist ...

A mature cell of one type can be turned into a mature cell of another type without the cell having to pass through an earlier stage of development. This is called direct reprogramming, a reliable but ...

Parvalbumin (PV) interneurons act as the brain’s rhythm keepers. By regulating local circuit activity and maintaining excitation–inhibition balance, they help stabilize cortical network function. When ...

In a first-of-its-kind clinical trial, UCLA scientists have shown it’s possible to reprogram a patient’s blood-forming stem cells to generate a continuous supply of functional T cells, the immune ...

Diffuse midline glioma (DMG), H3K27-altered, is a lethal pediatric high-grade tumor, lacking effective treatment options, primarily depending on clinical trials. Epigenetic agent-based immunotherapy ...

Mineral casts of cancer cell surfaces reprogram fat cells into stem cells and improve insulin sensitivity in obese mice through purely mechanical cues. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Cancer cells corrupt their ...

By combining advanced cellular reprogramming with AI-driven protein design, the company aims to reverse biological ageing and ...
