Stem cells are undifferentiated biological cells that can differentiate into specialised cells and can divide to produce more stem cells.
Finnish researchers have found that an accumulation of gene mutations, similar to those typically seen in the development of cancer, also occur in some patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
A new study has identified how exposure to sunlight alleviates symptoms of eczema by triggering the release of a compound in the skin that dampens inflammation.
Patients who have aggressive prostate cancer could be identified by a highly accurate and simple blood test, according to a new study.
Scientists have discovered a mechanism that provides a possible new target for allergy treatments, which may bring hope for asthma sufferers.

The new study suggests that defects in Tregs could be responsible for alopecia areata, a common autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss, and could potentially play a role in other forms of baldness, including male pattern baldness
A cancer drug for patients with certain types of leukaemia and lymphoma can also prevent reactions to some of the most common airborne allergens, according to a recent Northwestern Medicine study. The promising data from this pilot study could have greater implications for adults with food allergies.
A multi-institutional team based at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) has discovered how a potential treatment strategy for Huntington disease (HD) produces its effects, verified its action in human cells and identified a previously unknown deficit in neural stem cells from patients with HD.
This finding could have a great impact on the study of paediatric tumours, as it could already constitute one of the factors that produces their growth.
The research, using tumour cells in the laboratory and in mice, will see if the Zika virus can destroy cancer cells.
