A paralysed man can stand on his own after receiving an injection of neural stem cells to treat his spinal cord injury. The ...

Using CRISPR-based engineering methods to prompt stem cells to organize into embryo-like structures, scientists were able to create 'programmable' cellular models of embryos without ever experimenting ...

UCSC scientists have used CRISPR to develop programmable embryoids that can be used to study early embryo development and ...

Although scientists said larger clinical trials will be needed, the early results point to a 50-50 chance that this treatment ...

A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — ...

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

The sugar glucose, which is the main source of energy in almost every living cell, has been revealed in a Stanford Medicine study to also be a master regulator of tissue differentiation - the process ...

A study led by Prof. Liu Feng from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has identified a crucial role ...

The pluripotent and multipotent stem cells are found in the bone marrow, which can differentiate into any tissue in the body.

The earliest days after fertilization, once a sperm cell meets an egg, are shrouded in scientific mystery.The process of how a humble single cell ...
