Tissues such as the intestinal epithelium and the hematopoietic system continuously self-renew through the activity of a dedicated population of tissue-specific stem cells, also known as adult ...

For as long as biologists have studied this maturation process, they’ve believed that cells in adult tissue can’t readily take on a whole new identity. But researchers are challenging this ...

Save guides, add subjects and pick up where you left off with your BBC account. We're all very complex organisms, made up of lots of different types of cells carrying out different jobs in our ...

Prentice — a stem-cell researcher and my good friend — took a sabbatical from his Indiana State University professorship to tout the great potential of adult stem cells (and to oppose human ...

What if we could reprogramme the TME itself? Cutting-edge research suggests that engineered mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) ...

Stem cells originate from two main sources: adult body tissues and embryos. Scientists are also working on ways to develop stem cells from other cells, using genetic “reprogramming” techniques.
