Stem cells function as a source of new cells to grow or replace specialised tissues. To perform this function, these cells must divide to renew themselves, while some of their descendants ...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a heterogeneous subset ... An understanding of these issues will allow for the translation of our basic knowledge of MSC biology into the design of clinical ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed a method that shows how the nervous system and sensory organs are formed ...

The focus of the Goodell Lab is the basic mechanisms that regulate hematopoietic stem cells, and how their misregulation leads to leukemia development. Stem cells reside in the bone marrow in a ...

Our laboratory aims at exploiting recent advances in stem cell biology to develop radically new therapies for degenerative disease and cancer. The main focus in the lab is on the biology and ...

A new study in the peer-reviewed journal Stem Cells and Development highlights the potential of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) as a therapeutic strategy for high-dose ...

Researchers have developed a method that shows how the nervous system and sensory organs are formed in an embryo. By labeling stem cells with a genetic 'barcode', they have been able to follow the ...

Understanding the molecular signals required for converting stem cells into specialized cell types also offers insights into basic mechanisms of human development. The lab uses both candidate ...

Stem cells are immature cells that have a basic regenerative role in virtually all tissues. They normally exist in a quiescent, slowly dividing state, but after an injury can replace tissue by ...
