Stem cells are undifferentiated biological cells that can differentiate into specialised cells and can divide to produce more stem cells.
Research has identified that regions of the brain can regenerate via neural stem cells and the process of neurogenesis which could provide a new avenue for regenerative therapeutics.
Researchers have developed cytochalasin B-induced membrane vesicles which they suggest could be a new form of cell-free therapy in regenerative medicine.
Oncologic stem cells have been identified in many malignancies, and targeting these cells could help in the fight against cancer. Here are five of the most recent findings regarding cancer stem cells.
Scientists have created the first lab-dish models of the cellular clock, where each 'tick' stimulates the formation of the vertebra, which uses stem cells derived from adult human tissue.
It has been discovered that cognitive functions such as memory and learning in old mice are improved with more stem cells and neurons.
In a world first, researchers have grown immune cells from pluripotent stem cells in a dish, which could be used to develop immunotherapies or to test autoimmune disease treatments.
A study has shown that the SVC112 molecule can prevent cancer stem cells from producing more tumour cells in cell lines and mice, with no impact on healthy cells.
When exosomes were first discovered they were thought to be nothing more than cellular waste containers, but it is now thought that the integral membrane proteins, soluble proteins, and nucleic acid contained within exosomes can be taken up by cells and influence their function.
Scientists have found that when two specific genes are deleted in benign tumour tissue in the intestines, it more rapidly develops into a tumour that is more likely to become cancerous.
Drug Target Review lists its 10 most popular news stories from 2019, summarising the drug targets that you wanted to read about.
Researchers have developed a 'scar in a dish' model derived from human stem cells which mimics the progressive scarring that occurs in human organs and has lead to a drug candidate being identified to stop the progression of fibrosis.
Immune cell therapies, stem cell therapies, and regenerative medicine, often grouped into the category of advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs), offer some of the most revolutionary and exciting new approaches for treating human disease.
A study has demonstrated that activating bone periosteal stem cells leads to increased bone healing in mice, presenting a potential therapeutic strategy.
Isolated components found in the Saussurea controversa plant have antimicrobial and regenerative properties which could lead to a treatment for bone diseases.
A study has demonstrated how mutations in early colon cancer prevail and grow into malignancies, using fluorescent imaging.
