For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important ...

Blood stem cells have been grown in a laboratory for the first time in a breakthrough that could end the need for bone marrow donors. Currently, people suffering with conditions such as leukaemia, ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia developed a reliable method to produce helper T cells from stem cells by precisely tuning Notch signaling, enabling scalable, off-the-shelf immune ...

Researchers have unlocked a way to grow the immune system’s “conductors” from stem cells, bringing ready-made cancer-fighting therapies a big step closer. For the first time, scientists at the Univers ...

A set of lab-grown stem cells could hold the secret to a game-changing cancer treatment. So far, the cells have only been tested in mice, but when infused into the rodents, scientists say the stem ...

AMES, Iowa – A decade ago, Raquel Espin Palazon discovered that inflammatory signaling pathways must switch on for embryos to produce blood stem cells. The latest work from her lab shows the potential ...

This is the longest-lived set of developing kidney organoids derived from tissue stem cells The kidney developed over a half a year, enabling real-time observation, gene isolation for birth defects ...

Neurons grown from stem cells in the lab form an interconnected network. In this study, researchers used CRISPR to switch off ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important type of human immune cell-known as helper T cells-from stem cells in a ...

Childhood heart disease is the leading cause of infant mortality and heart problems are the most common birth defects for infants, but new research indicates stem cells could be key in treating heart ...

A research team has discovered when and why inflammatory signaling affects the formation of blood stem cells in embryos, which will benefit efforts to develop lab-grown, patient-derived stem cell ...
