The "lab-on-a-chip" quickly shows how single stem cells react to different environments, a process that would take more than 1 million steps in a lab.

Chemotherapies to treat triple-negative breast cancer kill cancer but spare stem cells, which can trigger recurrence. A gene discovery offers a solution.

Measuring the exact squishiness of blood-forming stem cells could lead to better bone marrow transplants.

A new method may one day lead to regenerating human heart muscle cells with help from stem cells.

Tweaking the recipe for coaxing human stem cells into insulin-secreting beta cells could lead to more effective treatments for diabetes.

In animal models, transplanting brain cells made from skin cells helped stop seizures and boosted brain function.

A new model could one day lead to hearts that can heal themselves, reducing the need for bypass surgery, heart transplants, and artificial pumping devices.

Two proteins could be key to deciphering how pluripotent cells are born, which may one day lead to new ways of using stem cells to keep people healthy.

The scaffold, which delivers stem cells and is biodegradable, could help treat Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, as well as spine and brain injuries.

Researchers hunting for valuable skeletal stem cells have found them in special tissue called the "resting zone," but don't assume they're slacking off.
