Stem Cells News and Research

Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. In addition, in many tissues they serve as a sort of internal repair system, dividing essentially without limit to replenish other cells as long as the person or animal is still alive. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential either to remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell.

Rutgers researchers team up to develop and produce lab-grown, structured meats

A pair of Rutgers researchers are teaming up to combat climate change and worldwide hunger at the same time.

Genomics provides a deeper understanding of the cause of hydrocephalus

The cerebral ventricles—four linked cavities of the brain that are packed with cerebrospinal fluid—become enlarged in hydrocephalus, or “water on the brain;” however, the cause is unknown in many instances.

Scientists reveal the origins and provide a detailed ID card of pancreatic endocrine stem cells

The pancreas is a key metabolic regulator. When pancreatic beta cells cease producing enough insulin, blood sugar levels rise dangerously — a phenomenon known as hyperglycemia — thus triggering diabetes.

Stem cell-mediated gene therapy technique helps to boost bone regeneration

Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSC-Exo) have gained a lot of attention due to their “cell-free” treatments.

Researchers introduce injectable stem cell assembly, likely to serve as the treatment for cartilage regeneration

Professor Qiuyu Zhang (Northwestern Polytechnical University), Professor Ki-Bum Lee (Rutgers University), and Professor Liang Kong (School of Stomatology, The Fourth Military Medical University) directed this research.

A new rule book for the design of therapeutic cells with improved specificity and safety

Therapies based on engineered immune cells have recently emerged as a promising approach in the treatment of cancer.

Study reveals key characteristics of immune cells in ovarian cancer

Ovarian cancer is a difficult to diagnose malignancy that is often caught at a more advanced stage. Treatments for this cancer have changed little over the past few decades, with surgery and chemotherapy being the most common therapeutic approaches.

Bioprinting bone along with two growth factor encoding genes improves bone repair

Given enough time and energy, the body will heal, but when doctors or engineers intervene, the processes do not always proceed as planned because chemicals that control and facilitate the healing process are missing.

Study shows how T cell-derived interleukin-22 promotes antibacterial defense of colonic crypts

Intestinal epithelial cells line the inner wall of the gut, creating a barrier to dangerous bacteria like enteropathogenic E. coli that seek to attach and efface that barrier, causing diarrhea.

Primordial germ cell-like cells produced from stem cells undergo gametogenesis to yield normal offspring

Primordial germ cell-like cells (PGCLCs), generated in vitro from the stem cells of rats, undergo gametogenesis in vivo and yield normal rat offspring, a new study demonstrates.

New technique helps rewind the cellular biological clock by around 30 years

Research from the Babraham Institute has developed a method to 'time jump' human skin cells by 30 years, turning back the aging clock for cells without losing their specialized function.

Scientists identify factors that regulate the development of brain cells in a specific order

Researchers have identified the complete series of 10 factors that regulate the development of brain cell types in the visual system of fruit flies-; including in what order these neurons develop.

Curcumin released from magnetic hydrogels can aid in vascular regeneration

A finding by UC Riverside bioengineers could hasten development of lab-grown blood vessels and other tissues to replace and regenerate damaged tissues in human patients.

Combining organoids and microfluidics to study how the immune system responds to hepatitis C

A vaccine for hepatitis C has eluded scientists for more than 30 years, for several reasons. For one, the virus that causes the disease comes in many genetic forms, complicating the creation of a widely effective vaccine.

Newborn cells in patients with epilepsy, likely to provide a potential treatment

According to a study headed by researchers from USC Stem Cell and the USC Neurorestoration Center, adults may recover at least some of what they have lost by producing new brain cells, and this process is profoundly modified in patients with long-term epilepsy.
