In a first-of-its-kind clinical trial, UCLA scientists have shown it's possible to reprogram a patient's blood-forming stem cells to generate a continuous supply of functional T cells, the immune ...

Millions of people around the world are affected by retinal degenerative diseases. In most cases, loss of vision is caused by damage to the macula, a region in the center of the retina. The macula is ...

In a first-of-its-kind clinical trial, UCLA scientists have shown it's possible to reprogram a patient's blood-forming stem cells to generate a continuous supply of functional T cells, the immune ...

A mature cell of one type can be turned into a mature cell of another type without the cell having to pass through an earlier stage of development. This is called direct reprogramming, a reliable but ...

A team led by researchers at the University of Toronto has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other areas of the body, called neural crest stem cells, are the source of ...

Scientists have developed a powerful new technique that allows them to observe how individual cells manufacture proteins ...

Parvalbumin (PV) interneurons act as the brain’s rhythm keepers. By regulating local circuit activity and maintaining excitation–inhibition balance, they help stabilize cortical network function. When ...

From the discovery of the Yamanaka factors to late-stage clinical trials, induced pluripotent stem cells have revolutionized biomedical science. For the first time, scientists reprogrammed cells from ...

In a groundbreaking study published in Nature, Australian scientists have resolved a long-standing problem in regenerative medicine. Led by Professor Ryan Lister from the Harry Perkins Institute of ...
