When you were first conceived, you were a single cell. From this basic fact, we can extrapolate a few things, most especially that all the cells that make up your body today came (indirectly) from ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this process possible. Among the discoveries is PEDS1, a gene now linked to a ...

The two papers covered in the Hot Paper feature 1 are interesting, but the real question is whether the animal models are of any use as models for idiopathic human Parkinson disease (PD). My own view ...

Orthopedic non-invasive stem cell therapy regenerates damaged tissue rather than just improving symptoms. Autologous stem cell therapy uses cells from your own body, minimizing rejection risks.

Chronic conditions affect over 130 million Americans—nearly half the population—including arthritis, MS, ALS, autism, and age-related decline. While conventional treatments often only manage symptoms, ...

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 ...

A firsthand account of regenerative aesthetics’ latest development, as Acorn Biolabs banks stem cells from the hair follicle and creates personalized anti-aging “secretome” serums for patients.
