Breast Stem Cells Offer Clues to Origin of Cancer Cells

Australian researchers have discovered that breast stem cells and their "daughters" have a lengthier life than previously believed. This recently discovered longer lifespan indicates that these cells could carry genetic defects or damage earlier in life that could eventually progress toward ca... Read More

Two thirds of men will see some degree of hair loss by the age of 35, according to the American Hair Loss Association. However, women are also impacted, consisting of up to 40% of all hair loss sufferers. The condition can affect a person's self-image and emotional well-being and has been diff... Read More

Researchers have engineered a breakthrough technique to grow artificial skin - using stem cells extracted from the umbilical cord. The new method could benefit burn patients with faster skin grafting since the artificial skin can be stored and used when required. Read More

Columbia University Medical Center researchers claim they are getting closer to the creation of lung tissue for transplant using a patient's own cells. Published in Nature Biotechnology, this study reports that investigators have successfully transformed human stem cells into functioning lung ... Read More

Researchers are now one step closer to finding the cure for blindness, following their first successful transplantation of light-sensitive photoreceptor cells from a synthetic retina that was grown in a lab using embryonic stem cells. This is according to a study conducted by University of Col... Read More

Researchers from China have conceptualized a means of deriving stem cells from urine to create solid organs and tissues, including teeth. Their study has been published in the journal Cell Regeneration. The researchers hope this technique will eventually help provide new, custom-made teeth for... Read More
