As the human brain takes shape before birth, a remarkable type of stem cell helps give it many of the features that make it ...
Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites. But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a ...
In what is being described as a major medical milestone, scientists in China have reportedly reversed Type 2 diabetes in a patient using stem cell therapy. The patient, who was previously dependent on ...

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved stem cell therapy for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, people could participate in clinical trials involving this ALS treatment.
Diabetes develops when the body fails to manage its blood glucose levels. One form of diabetes causes the body to not produce insulin at all. Called Type 1 diabetes, or T1D, this autoimmune disease ...
From axolotls to zebrafish, stem cells possess remarkable regenerative abilities, enabling them to restore lost limbs and repair damaged organs. These extraordinary capabilities, however, are not ...
