AMES, Iowa – A decade ago, Raquel Espin Palazon discovered that inflammatory signaling pathways must switch on for embryos to produce blood stem cells. The latest work from her lab shows the potential ...

Stem cells are precursors of a variety of different cells: They can turn into anything from blood to bone to muscle. Human blood stem cells, known as hematopoietic stem cells, are the forerunners of ...

A set of lab-grown stem cells could hold the secret to a game-changing cancer treatment. So far, the cells have only been tested in mice, but when infused into the rodents, scientists say the stem ...

The results could shed light on why the animals rarely get cancer. But the researchers’ ultimate goal of bringing back woolly mammoths is still aspirational. By Carl Zimmer When the biotechnology firm ...

A team of engineers and biologists has wired flexible electronics directly into lab-grown pancreatic cell clusters, creating hybrid structures that can be monitored and electrically stimulated for ...

A research team has discovered when and why inflammatory signaling affects the formation of blood stem cells in embryos, which will benefit efforts to develop lab-grown, patient-derived stem cell ...

Magnified images show the increase in blood stem cell production that occurred when a second wave of inflammatory signaling was delayed in zebrafish embryos. The blood stem cells are colored green.
