A team led by researchers has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other areas of the body, called neural crest stem cells, are the source of reprogrammed neurons found by other ...

A mature cell of one type can be turned into a mature cell of another type without the cell having to pass through an earlier stage of development. This is called direct reprogramming, a reliable but ...

A team led by researchers at the University of Toronto has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other areas of the body, called neural crest stem cells, are the source of ...

The emergence of multicellular life roughly 700 million years ago was a pivotal event that shaped the evolution of life on Earth. Key to this transformation was the development of stem cells, which ...

A new immune cell conversion technology has been developed that directly transforms somatic cells into 'Natural Killer (NK) ...

Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) have discovered a way to turn the body’s B cells into tiny surveillance machines and antibody factories that can pump out specially designed ...

Researchers in Japan have developed a form of stem cell therapy that "reverses" paralysis. Though the treatment has only seen a 50% success rate so far, two of the four people who received it have ...

As people age, their immune system function declines. T cell populations become smaller and can't react to pathogens as ...

Pair showed that adult cells can be reprogrammed to an embryonic state. I think that all Nobel prize winners should sport badass hair like this Gurdon guy. On a more serious note, this is an awesome ...
