Stem Cell Research

Scientists have developed synthetic mouse embryos from stem cells. The model embryos feature beating hearts and even foundations for the brain and other organs of a mouse's body. The achievement is likely to help researchers unravel why some embryos successfully develop into a foetus while others fail to do so.

Stem cells can be used to create a "synthetic embryo" without using a sperm, eggs, or a womb, according to scientists. Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science were able to create an artificial embryo using only stem celll from mice. These synthetic embryos grew normally until day 8.5 when the early organ progenitors are formed such as hear...

In a remarkable finding, scientists have developed a nanotechnology platform that could pave way for new treatments for degenerative bone diseases. In their study, the scientists developed a technology that involves the use of iron nanowires. These nanowires bend in response to magnetic fields. Scientists grew bone-forming stem cells on the mesh of...

Stem cell therapy, earlier proved effective for animals, have now been used to treat newborns with brain damage. The researchers, including a team from University Medical Center Utrecht, administered stem cells to 10 newborns via nose droplets, a procedure that took only several minutes.

Researchers from Osaka University say that the steak created in the lab bears great resemblance to that made from the world-renowned Wagyu beef cattle. To achieve this, the team isolated stem cells from Wagyu cows. These stem cells were then incubated and converted into muscle, fat, and blood vessel cells.

A team of researchers at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research in Kobe, Japan, may have just found an answer to hair loss and baldness woes. While many methods have been devised in the past to address hair-related issues, this one is unique, for it's a recipe for continuous cyclical regeneration of hair follicles from hair follicle stem...

Research now has discovered that in type 2 diabetes, a specific gene is of great importance for the ability of muscle stem cells to create new mature muscle cells.

Scientists have developed a human embryo "blueprint" using human stem cells, in a breakthrough that could provide vital insight into the early stages of infant development, new research showed Thursday.

The team was able to find how brain cells respond to good nutrition or the lack of it, which aimed at improving prenatal care in humans and may also help in current research in the lab on the role of neural stem cells in recovery from brain injury.

IIT Madras Researchers have discovered that subjecting cancer cells to microgravity results in the formation of giant cancer cells with stem-cell characteristics.

Researchers from the University of Southern California found that a "fasting-mimicking diet" caused a reduction in intestinal inflammation and an increase in intestinal stem cells in part by promoting the expansion of beneficial gut microbiota.

Japan has given the green light to a controversial research process involving implanting animals with human stem cells that could eventually help grow human organs for transplant inside animal hosts.

As part of the study, researchers identified a protein called Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) in muscle stem cells that appears to be responsible for the age-related dysfunction.

A new research study by the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine (inStem), Bangalore and University of Louisville in the US, has indicated that pomegranates may help reduce IBD and even provide protection against it.

The Vice Chancellor of Andhra University has said that India possessed the knowledge of stem cell research, test tube fertilisation and even guided missiles thousands of years ago, providing as evidence, tales from the Indian epics Mahabharata and Ramayana.
