In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one ...

Some parts of our bodies bounce back from injury in fairly short order. The outer protective layer of the eye—called the cornea—can heal from minor scratches within a single day. The brain is not one ...

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 — ...

Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based ...

Each immune cell group has distinct metabolic requirements, activation pathways, and cytokine reliance. Standard, one-size-fits-all media cannot address these features. When studying diverse cell ...

A small number of cancer cells with the ability to change their identities and behaviors appear to be a key driver of cancer ...

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 ...

Stem cell therapy is an emerging treatment for type 2 diabetes. Although it’s not yet FDA-approved in the United States, it is a rapidly expanding and promising field of research. Stem cells are ...

A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — plays a vital, overlooked role in the first steps of life. Each of us starts ...

New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...
