“For many cell-based therapies, progress comes from connecting the right pieces at the right moment,” Klein said. “When ...

Researchers in the College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources have developed a novel line of bovine embryonic stem ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

Stem cell IVF could enable same-sex couples and single parents to have genetically related children. It’s time to think ...

In the lab, it’s easier to grow simple balls of cells than complex asymmetrical structures with two distinct ends—like the one million filtering units, or nephrons, that make up a human kidney. But ...

More than one-sixth of adults around the world experience infertility in their lifetime. There is a high unmet need not only for increased access to affordable, high-quality fertility care for those ...

The New York Stem Cell Foundation, a $23-million-a-year biomedical nonprofit, was acquired by the Jackson Laboratory as part of a move to expand automation in life sciences research. The acquisition, ...

Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based cancer therapy. Helper T cells act as the immune system’s coordinators, helping ...

In simple terms, stem cells that don’t build up enough of the NDRG1 protein eventually die off. What remains is a group of cells that repair muscle more slowly but are tougher and more resilient, able ...

Jackson Laboratory, a genetics and genomic medicine organization headquartered in Bar Harbor, was awarded up to $30.6 million over three years to create digital heart models. FILE PHOTO / COURTESY ...
