Skeletal stem cells form part of the bone marrow stroma, where they contribute to bone growth, bone modeling, and bone remodeling during life. In addition to this, they help produce adipocytes the ...

The tiny mouse embryo has a heart that beats. Its muscles, blood vessels, gut and nervous system are beginning to develop. But this embryo is unusual: It was made in a lab, out of mouse embryonic stem ...

Replacing these vessels with new ones presents a possible therapy for people, says Martin Friedlander of the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, Calif. Or, ironically, the stem cells might work ...

Many scientists have found new ways to repair damaged arteries and ailing hearts have coaxed stem cells from a human embryo into forming tiny blood vessels. According to Robert Langer, leader of a ...

Two reports demonstrate more convincingly than ever that progeny of adult hippocampal stem cells become functional neurons in vitro and integrate into existing circuitry in vivo. In the first study, ...

A new study using stem cell-based models has shed new light on how the human embryo begins to develop, which could one day benefit the development of fertility treatment. A new study using stem ...

The discovery that the ageing of lung stem cells drives iron insufficiency and reduces the capacity of the cells to form tumours has potential implications for the treatment of cancer and for ...
