The authors examine the role of Numb, a Notch inhibitor, in intestinal stem cell self-renewal in Drosophila during homeostasis and regeneration. This is an important study providing evidence of a Numb ...

We're all very complex organisms, made up of lots of different types of cells carrying out different jobs in our bodies; such as nerve cells, blood cells, fat cells and muscle cells. So, where do ...

In 2006, researchers introduced a method to reprogram adult cells into a pluripotent state. These induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) could then be coaxed to differentiate into different cell ...

UCSF scientists have discovered a stem cell in the young brain that's capable of forming the cells found in tumors. The breakthrough could explain how adult brain cells take advantage of developmental ...

After years of controversy, stem cells are on the cusp of cures for conditions like epilepsy and type 1 diabetes.

A research group from Nagoya City University has elucidated the significance of birth in the maintenance of neural stem cells ...

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are pluripotent stem cells generated from adult cells by reprogramming. iPSCs have the same properties as embryonic stem cells, and therefore self-renew and ...

A new study paints one of the most detailed pictures of human brain development to date, opening the door to new tests and therapies, including for brain disorders such as autism.

OpenAI has reportedly developed a groundbreaking AI model, GPT-4b, designed to enhance the efficiency of stem cell production ...
