Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important type of human immune cell—known as helper T cells—from stem cells in a ...

MSK physician-scientists Dr. Viviane Tabar and Dr. Lorenz Studer have developed a treatment for Parkinson’s disease that involves creating nerve cells from embryonic stem cells and transplanting them ...

These papers demonstrate that human ESC cultures can be enriched for a single and specific progenitor cell type. Furthermore, the cells, which by all measures appear to be neuronal progenitor cells, ...

A new technique for mechanically manipulating stem cells could lead to new stem cell treatments, which have yet to fulfill their therapeutic potential. A new technique developed by McGill researchers ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important type of human immune cell-known as helper T cells-from stem cells in a ...

Stem cells in the brain, called neural stem cells (NSCs), have the ability to proliferate, differentiate, and undergo a process of cell death. Most of the NSCs in our brains exist in a dormant state, ...

Stem cell therapy is an emerging treatment for type 2 diabetes. Although it’s not yet FDA-approved in the United States, it is a rapidly expanding and promising field of research. Stem cells are ...

A new study by Canadian and U.S. researchers is shedding light on how the social media platform TikTok can be used to recruit ...
