Researchers uncover how two mechano-sensing ion channels are essential to maintain healthy stem cells. A new study from The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and Institut Curie reveals how stem ...

Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as "miracle" cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in our bodies, promising revolutionary medical treatments. However, ...

Maria Carolina Florian explores aging and research on the hematopoietic system, particularly focusing on hematopoietic stem ...

When stem cells are injected into thick tissues, they often clump together and die from lack of oxygen or nutrients, making ...

Aging is inevitable for most cell types in the human body, but hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) seem to defy the process. They retain their self-renewing ability almost throughout an organism’s ...

Texas A&M researchers found a way to make stem cells produce double the normal number of mitochondria using nanoflower particles. These energized stem cells then transfer their surplus “power packs” ...

Researchers in the lab of Hans-Peter Kiem, MD, PhD, at Fred Hutch Cancer Center have devised a method that could one day treat genetic hematologic disorders by correcting how the body makes blood ...

Stem cells are gaining attention for their potential to treat leukemia, certain solid tumor cancers, and inherited metabolic ...
