In a groundbreaking development, scientists have uncovered a type of immortal cell in laboratory settings, offering unprecedented potential for medical research and treatment. These cells, with their ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

The Department of Health and Human Services is tapping the Jackson Laboratory to expand testing using lab-grown cells and artificial intelligence, following the lab's acquisition of the New York Stem ...

The New York Stem Cell Foundation, a $23-million-a-year biomedical nonprofit, was acquired by the Jackson Laboratory as part of a move to expand automation in life sciences research. The acquisition, ...

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — For the last 25 years, the Li Lab at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research in Kansas City, Missouri, has taken part in groundbreaking research related to stem cells and the ...

Two American Heart Association (AHA) journals, Circulation and Circulation Research, have retracted 13 papers from the now defunct laboratory of cardiac stem cell researcher Piero Anversa, MD. All 13 ...

Researchers have created tiny metal-based particles that push cancer cells over the edge while leaving healthy cells mostly unharmed. The particles work by increasing internal stress in cancer cells ...

Using mathematical analysis of patterns of human and animal cell behavior, scientists say they have developed a computer program that mimics the behavior of such cells in any part of the body. Led by ...

A new study in the lab of Jason Stein, Ph.D., modeled brain development in a dish to identify cells and genes that influence ...

Megan Molteni reports on discoveries from the frontiers of genomic medicine, neuroscience, and reproductive tech. She joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at WIRED. You can reach ...

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 ...
