From totipotent stem cells at conception, to pluripotent, multipotent, oligopotent, and unipotent stem cells by adulthood – every disease essentially boils down to a dysfunction in the cells and ...

For decades, scientists assumed that neural stem cells (NSCs) only occur in the brain and spinal cord. A new international ...

A team of CiRA researchers has uncovered the crucial role of EIF3D—a protein translational regulator—in primed pluripotency.

Scientists have identified a previously unknown type of neural stem cell (pNSC) that exists outside the brain and spinal cord, overturning decades of neuroscience dogma.

Researchers are studying why the energy factories are moving between cells and whether the process can be harnessed to treat ...

Drug-Delivering Aptamers Target Leukemia Stem Cells for One-Two Knockout Punch Apr. 3, 2025 — Drug-carrying DNA aptamers can deliver a one-two punch to leukemia by precisely targeting the ...

Stem cells are cells that have the capacity to self-renew by dividing and to develop into more mature, specialised cells. Stem cells can be unipotent, multipotent, pluripotent or totipotent ...

Researchers from Nanjing Medical University have developed a novel method to generate transient totipotent blastomere-like stem cells (tTBLCs) by treating mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) with a ...

To grow, cancer tumors must hijack the immune system for their needs. One of the main tricks that most tumors use is to ...

Tim-3 is an immune checkpoint molecule involved in immunity and inflammation recently linked to late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD), but its role in the brain was unknown until now. Researchers used ...

The biological research of UC Santa Cruz’s Needhi Bhalla to determine the molecular motions at the heart of heredity has ...

The Oregon Stem Cell Center conducts basic and applied research in the field of Stem Cell Biology with the long term goal to harness the properties of stem cells for regenerative medicine and cell ...
