Chinese researchers have, for the first time, reprogrammed a woman’s fat cells to become insulin-producing pancreatic cells, reversing her need for insulin injections for over a year. In this study, fat cells were chemically reverted into stem-like cells and transformed into islet cells, which are normally found in the pancreas. The cells, implan...

The patient had been suffering from hard-to-control diabetes despite intensive insulin treatment and had received pancreas transplantation in 2017.

Recent research has shed light on how "selfish DNA," particularly LINE-1 transposons, plays a key role in early human development. Once viewed primarily as harmful, these elements have now been found to be essential for the normal formation and specialisation of cells during the embryo's early stages. Blocking their activity causes developmental di...

These cells can transform into endothelial cells and macrophages, aiding in blood vessel growth and tissue repair, particularly when triggered by injury or poor blood flow.

High-profile investors like Bryan Johnson have made significant contributions, claiming to reverse their biological age through strict regimens.

A recent study has revealed that SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, might be using an unexpected method to infect the brain. Researchers found that mutations in the virus' spike protein allow it to enter brain cells through a "back door," a process that might explain the neurological symptoms observed in some COVID-19 pati...

A 60-year-old German man is likely the seventh person to be effectively cured of HIV after receiving a stem cell transplant, doctors announced on Thursday.

The groundbreaking technology addresses a critical concern in cancer therapy. Many effective cancer drugs carry the potential side effect of heart damage.

It may soon be possible to coax human skin cells into becoming functional eggs and sperm using a technique known as "in vitro gametogenesis". This involves the creation (genesis) of eggs and sperm (gametes) outside the human body.

The Delhi High Court on Thursday allowed two children suffering from autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to undergo stem cell therapy for treatment of their condition.

These embryo-like structures are at the very earliest stages of human development.

According to a team of scientists, melanocyte stem cells become stuck inside the hair follicle and are unable to produce pigment.

Known as the Dusseldorf Patient, the man is only the third person in the world to be cured of the condition using stem cell transplant.

A man known as "the Duesseldorf patient" has become the third person declared cured of HIV after receiving a stem cell transplant that also treated his leukaemia, a study said on Monday.

To treat baby Finley's heart abnormality, Professor Massimo Caputo of the Bristol Heart Institute used cutting-edge stem cell injections.
