Researchers in the College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources have developed a novel line of bovine embryonic stem ...

Coaxing a stem cell to differentiate is similar to telling a college freshman to pick a major—and about as difficult. With a plethora of options to choose from, how does one decide on a pathway to ...

Scientists have grown a human embryo-like structure in a lab which replicates very early human development - including the production of blood stem cells. The lab-grown embryo model could help ...

Scientists have unveiled a new method for generating blood cells from lab-grown embryo-like structures, a development that could significantly advance regenerative therapies. This breakthrough also ...

One of the most enduring goals in regenerative medicine is deceptively simple: replace a person's damaged or dying cells with ...

In the lab, it's easier to grow simple balls of cells than complex asymmetrical structures with two distinct ends—like the one million filtering units—nephrons—that make up a human kidney. But new ...

Scientists at Université de Montréal and its affiliated Centre de recherche Azrieli du CHU Sainte-Justine have made a major ...

Mini-stomach models that produce acid have been grown from human gastric cells, helping researchers study rare digestive diseases and test precise treatments.

Inside the human eye, the retina is made up of several types of cells, including the light-sensing photoreceptors that initiate the cascade of events that lead to vision. Damage to the photoreceptors, ...
