New findings show how stem cells coordinate to repair and replace the intestine's lining. The work could clarify disorders like inflammatory bowel disease.

Fasting sends the muscle stem cells of mice into a deep resting state that slows muscle repair but also makes them more resistant to stress, a study finds.

Stem cells that produce too few, or too many, brain cells may be a factor in the development of autism spectrum disorder, a new study shows.

A study of brain cell types in the visual system of fruit flies uncovers similarities with human brain development and could hold clues to regenerative medicine.

"If the goal is to treat blindness, we want to make sure that the retinal pigment epithelium cells... are still doing the job they're supposed to."

The "biohybrid" fish swim by recreating the muscle contractions of a pumping heart. The work could be a step toward creating artificial hearts.

Frogs briefly treated with a five-drug cocktail administered by a wearable bioreactor were able to regrow a functional, nearly complete limb.

Stem cells from healthy placentas could one day help reduce brain injury in growth-restricted infants, babies who fail to grow normally in the womb.

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