Researchers have created a way to guide and control the development of stem cells into specific tissues and organs, opening the door to developing a means of one day tackling complex diseases like ...

Scientists are developing a "sponge" that can soak up pain signals in the body before they reach the brain, potentially ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

The study, published in British scientific journal Nature, suggests that the disease may begin in basal stem cells — long-lived cells that help repair and replace damaged tissue in the lungs — ...

A stem cell therapy for stroke restored neuron function and revealed how transplanted cells navigate the nervous system.

Lewy bodies are a hallmark of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and other related neurological conditions. The presence of Lewy bodies in the brain is considered a “pathologic certainty” of Parkinson’s disease ...

The study reveals that these neighbouring cells are significantly more vulnerable to ageing-related damage, offering fresh ...
