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

An international group of researchers has identified an important mechanism that enables stem cells to evade immune rejection. Their research, published in Nature, sheds light on how these specialized ...

Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), which can virtually form any cell type, have great potential in the field of regenerative medicine. However, the growth of tumors after PSC transplantation remains to be ...

Scientists are sending stem cells into orbit where the forces of gravity won't interfere with how they cells proliferate and assemble into small organ-like clusters. It's an exciting time for stem ...

This review highlights the critical role of ubiquitination in governing the functionality of cancer stem cells (CSCs), shedding light on potential therapeutic targets for combating tumor progression, ...

One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they react during times of stress, such as when the temperature gets ...

However, much remains to be discovered. Yejing Ge, a cell biologist at the MD Anderson Cancer Center, discussed her research on skin-resident stem cells and the surprisingly similar process that ...
