Life begins with a tiny orchestra of stem cells, setting the stage for the body’s grand symphony of development. As the performance unfolds, a dynamic interplay of factors takes center stage, ...

A team led by researchers 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 reprogrammed neurons found by other ...

Peer-reviewed discovery platform and data in PNAS show that single transcription factor modulation reverses aging-associated gene expression and restores healthy cellular and tissue function in models ...

Astrocytes in the adult brain show cellular plasticity; however, whether they have the potential to generate multiple lineages remains unclear. Here, we perform in vivo screens and identify DLX2 as a ...

One of the biggest holy grails in biology involves finding a means to generate pluripotent and infinitely replicating stem cells without generating an embryo. One Japanese team presented some potent ...

In a proof of concept that may reshape the treatment landscape for insulin-dependent diabetes, scientists have demonstrated that human stomach cells can be reprogrammed to secrete insulin—potentially ...

Researchers developed a way to directly reprogram human glial cells into PV interneurons without passing through a stem‑cell stage.

Researchers in Japan have developed a form of stem cell therapy that "reverses" paralysis. Though the treatment has only seen a 50% success rate so far, two of the four people who received it have ...
