A new biosensor technology may help pave the way for using stem cells to treat neurological diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Certain dangerous kinds of skin cancer may start in hair follicles, research with mice indicates. And worse, the chance of cancer may always be there.
New research may debunk a long-held idea about the differentiation of embryonic stem cells that Alan Turing put forward 65 years ago.
A new system lets researchers study all of the major cell types of ectoderm, a single sheet of cells formed during embryo development.
Exploiting a feature of the immune system could open the door for stem cell transplants to repair the brain without the need for lifelong medication.
A new method uses exosomes harvested from human skin cells to repair sun damage. In a test with mice, it proved more effective than the leading treatments.
Stem cells from bone marrow play a big role in the start and continuation of a pregnancy, research with mice suggests.
Researchers aim to treat complex bone wounds with what they lightheartedly call an injectable "spackle" full of stem cells.
The new mouse model also holds promise for studying other neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease, traumatic brain injury, and stroke.
"We demonstrate for the first time ever how the sebaceous glands that contribute to the natural moisture of the skin are formed..."
