Critical similarity found between two types of do-it-all stem cells Date: September 12, 2011 Source: University of Wisconsin-Madison Summary: Scientists report the first full measurement of the ...

All stem cells are not created equal, a new study finds. Two distinct kinds of self-renewing blood cells have been spotted in mice, muddying a simplistic view of stem cell categories.

Stem cells are essential for tissue regeneration and, in a recent study, Cornell researchers have challenged a long-standing model regarding epidermal stem cells and their role in skin repair.

Types of Stem Cells. There are two main types of stem cells: embryonic and adult. Embryonic, or pluripotent, stem cells. The embryo is made up of stem cells called embryonic stem cells that divide ...

A unique "partnership" between two types of bone marrow stem cells could lead to advances in regenerative medicine. A study led by a researcher at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva ...

If you wind back the clock on the different cells in our bodies, they’d all start life as one of just a few types of stem cells. Now, researchers have wound back the clock even further, and ...

Stem cells are the body’s building blocks. They can be found in almost every part of your body and are responsible for ...

Researchers have been able to create an artificial mouse embryo using two types of stem cells and a 3D scaffold, a milestone that could help scientists better understand the precarious early ...

A new mouse study may finally debunk the idea behind the controversial procedure, showing the beneficial effects of two types of cell therapy are caused not by the rejuvenating properties of stem ...

UCSF scientists have discovered a new type of stem cell that helps young brains grow but is also capable of forming the cells found in tumors. The breakthrough could explain how adult brain cells take ...

Two new studies suggest that stem cells are close to helping people with Parkinson's disease. The results are a victory for scientists who have spent decades trying to treat it with brain cells.
