By Optics.org - A project at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has successfully stimulated stem cells in a manner that reliably induced them to develop into bone cells. The technology could ultimately lead to ways to generate specific cells for biomedical...

by GOAI -Gene Online - Japanese researchers are exploring a novel, minimally invasive method to repair spinal fractures using body fat-derived cells. The experimental approach involves converting fat cells into bone tissue, offering a potential alternative to...

By Sabrina Richards - Fred Hutch Cancer Center - Bioengineer Dr. Matthias Stephan developed a quick-foaming solution that he hopes could one day turn gene therapy into an outpatient procedure The special properties of methylcellulose foam could make it a vehicle for...

By Jennie Erin Smith - Science - New effort is modeled after the state’s long-running cancer research institute Texas voters this week made a bet that their state could build on a legacy of success in cancer research and become a powerhouse in neurological research as...

by Kermit Pattison –  Harvard Gazette – Findings on adrenaline’s role in process raise new possibilities for regenerative medicine Biologists long have been fascinated by the ability of salamanders to regrow entire limbs. Now Harvard researchers have solved part of...

By Stanford Medicine -  ScienceDaiiy - A Stanford-led team has replaced toxic pre-transplant chemotherapy with a targeted antibody, allowing children with Fanconi anemia to receive stem cell transplants safely. The antibody, briquilimab, removes diseased stem cells...

By Stem Cells Translational Medicine - Abstract Purpose In biliary atresia (BA), it has been demonstrated that biliary epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of reactive ductular cells is associated with liver fibrosis. This study aimed to develop an ex vivo biliary...

by Institute of Science Tokyo - MedicalXpress - As chronic liver disease becomes more widespread, researchers at Science Tokyo have developed a lab-grown organoid that replicates a regenerating liver, offering new hope for future treatments. The model recreates...

By William A. Haseltine - Forbes - New research from DeepMind and Yale University has created AI that now generates biological hypotheses that can lead to new medical discoveries. The collaboration between recently produced C2S-Scale 27B, a powerful AI model trained...

By Aamir Khollam - Interesting Engineering - In a leap that could reshape how scientists study the human body in space, researchers at ETH Zurich have successfully 3D printed muscle tissue in conditions mimicking weightlessness. The achievement brings scientists...

By University of Zurich - SciTechDaily - Stem cell therapy reversed stroke damage in mice, regenerating neurons and restoring movement. The findings bring scientists closer to human treatments that could one day transform recovery after brain injury. Breakthrough in...

By Stem Cells Translational Medicine - Abstract Therapeutic application of mesenchymal stem cells is emerging as a potential strategy for the management of intrauterine adhesion (IUA). However, conventional 2D cultures often face issues such as insufficient cell...

By KCAL/KCBS via CNN Newsource Watch Video - A 9-year-old California boy is being called a hero after he saved his father’s life with a stem cell donation. Nick Mondek, a 45-year-old father of two, was facing a second battle with leukemia in April when his...
