stem-cells

The field of regenerative medicine is gaining momentum. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) remain central to this field, with expanding applications as direct therapies and as producers of MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs). This article examines the biological and regulatory factors shaping their promise. The post Regenerative Medicine in the Bronze Age: MSCs and MSC-EVs Leading the Way app…

In two new studies, UCLA researchers used lab-grown brain organoids, donated human tissue and fused "assembloids" to investigate how radial glia -- the stem cells that build the human cerebral cortex -- decide which types of brain cells to make.

EMBL Barcelona researchers develop self-organising bovine tissues that contain muscle, nerve, and blood vessel cells.

[Journal of Dental Research] Scientists identified intercellular mitochondrial transfer from dental pulp stem cells to endothelial cells as a critical survival and angiogenic mechanism under hypoxic stress.

[Cell Reports] The authors identified ovarian tumor domain-containing protein 1 (OTUD1) as an RNA-binding protein that controls MSC fate by stabilizing osteogenic transcripts. OTUD1 directly binds and stabilizes bone morphogenetic protein 2 mRNA, thereby supporting osteogenic differentiation.

Researchers have taken another step toward the possibility of regrowing teeth, developing a method that transforms human stem cells into enamel-producing cells that could eventually be used to regenerate damaged or missing tooth structure. The study, published in the International Journal of Oral Science, investigated how scientists could guide human stem cells toward becoming ameloblasts, the [……

Dr. Abba Zubair discusses how stem cell research aboard the International Space Station is advancing regenerative medicine and what scientists learned from a recently published study. Episode 432 The post ISS Results: Stem Cells in Space appeared first on NASA Science .

Nature, Published online: 03 August 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-02339-1 A combination of drugs restores stem-cell function in mouse models of the blood disorder.

He makes sure to tell people he did not make embryos. Friends, I did NOT create a human clone. What I did create are induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) — cells that can potentially become many different cell types and may one day help repair the body. It’s one of the most promising technologies in […]

A new genomic atlas gives researchers a cheat sheet for steering stem cells toward curing disease.

A gentler stem cell transplant rejuvenated aging blood and immune systems in mice. Imagine storing your own healthy blood stem cells while young, then receiving them decades later to refresh the systems that produce blood and support immunity. That possibility remains speculative for people, but researchers have shown that young stem cells can rejuvenate these [...]

Can aging be reversed? Dr. Michael West explains telomerase, cellular immortality, stem cells, tissue regeneration, and the future of longevity. LifeCraft Sciences: https://lifecraftsciences.com/ In this episode, I sit down with pioneering molecular gerontologist and biotechnology entrepreneur Dr. Michael D. West to explore telomeres, telomerase, cellular senescence, stem cells, tissue regenerati…

3D bioprinting and stem cell research were the main research topics aboard the International Space Station on Thursday. The Expedition 74 crew members also photographed growing plants and lab windows for inspection while continuing to pack a U.S. cargo spacecraft.

Just one single cell will eventually become the trillions that make up the human body, consisting of hundreds of different types, each with its own unique task and function. From one cell comes blood, bone, skin, and hair. From one cell comes life.

Expedition 74 astronauts aboard the International Space Station are continuing research efforts to manufacture large quantities of stem cells for therapies on Earth. Previous studies have focused on fine-tuning hardware that allows scientists to produce greater quantities of high-quality stem cells. Now, the InSPA-StemCellEX-H2 investigation is aiming to demonstrate large scale production of bloo…

Scientists have discovered that transplanted stem cell-derived brain cells may do far more than simply survive after a stroke. A stem cell treatment helped mice recover from strokes by rebuilding damaged brain connections, restoring blood vessels, and improving movement, according to new research from the University of Zurich and the University of Southern California. The [...]
