Multipotent dental stem cells can give rise to various cell types and show potential for treating injuries, diabetes, and heart disease in early clinical trials.

Scientists have uncovered a gut-specific epigenetic aging mechanism that links inflammation and iron imbalance to cancer risk ...

Imagine if our bodies could grow new organs throughout our entire lives. Plants do this constantly, thanks to tiny, powerful reservoirs of stem cells. But how do these cells know when to divide, and ...

Stem cells can fight disease from the inside out. But not all treatments are created equal. By Mohana Ravindranath The promise of stem cell therapy is powerful. Scientists can draw versatile cells ...

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 ...

When we developed the ability to convert various cells into a stem cell, it held the promise of an entirely new type of therapy. Rather than getting the body to try to fix itself with its cells or ...

Scientists who study the brain have long tried to unlock the neural mysteries of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. They can be difficult to diagnose and even harder to treat. The scientists began ...

Scientists in Zurich have shown that stem cell transplants can reverse stroke damage by regenerating neurons, restoring motor functions, and even repairing blood vessels. The breakthrough not only ...
