Innovative muscle patches derived from stem cells demonstrate efficacy in heart repair, improving function in primates and a ...

A woman with heart failure was kept alive long enough to receive a heart transplant, in part thanks to newly developed ...

A patch made from lab-grown muscle cells boosted heart function in monkeys with cardiovascular disease and is now being ...

This is especially problematic in cases of blocked blood vessels, which can repeatedly starve large areas of the heart of oxygen and nutrients, killing the cardiomyocytes there. This leads to a ...

Results from rhesus macaques provide solid ground for a first-in-human investigation of heart repair with stem cell-derived ...

Stem cells are cells that have the capacity to self-renew by dividing and to develop into more mature, specialised cells. Stem cells can be unipotent, multipotent, pluripotent or totipotent ...

Grafting patches of lab-grown muscle to the surface of the heart could offer a lifeline for people waiting for a transplant.

Chanda's team used human neurons derived from stem cells to develop a model of the brain that could rigorously test these relationships. Using a gene-editing tool called CRISPR-Cas9, they were ...

New research highlights the promise of a novel stem cell treatment strategy for leptomeningeal brain metastasis (LBM), a ...

If cells are removed from the embryo they will differentiate into any cell type. These are called embryonic stem cells. Some stem cells remain in the bodies of adults as adult stem cells.
