A new approach to stem cell transplants that doesn't require radiation or chemotherapy shows promise in mice, report researchers.

MIT biologists show that enlargement of blood stem cells restricts their ability to generate new blood cells during aging.

One hundred years after the discovery of insulin, replacement therapy represents “a new kind of medicine,” says Douglas Melton, co-director of Harvard Stem Cell Institute.

A screening method developed by MIT researchers targets hydrogen peroxide in the search for new cancer therapeutics.

The method could be a route to quicker, less invasive cancer diagnoses.

Cambridge researchers have developed ‘mini brains’ that allow them to study a fatal and untreatable neurological disorder causing paralysis and dementia – and

Life-extension therapies may be coming sooner than you think.

There are no clinically tested or government-approved cell therapies available for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19 or its long-term effects.

Researchers glean a more complete picture of a complex structure called the nuclear pore complex by studying it directly inside cells.

The joint award recognizes the long road to deciphering the biology behind the brain’s ability to sense its surroundings – work that paves the way for a number of medical and biological breakthroughs.
