When astrocytes in mice overproduce a protein called ephrin-B1, the ability of the animal to retain memory weakens.

Autologous cells of stromal vascular fraction were transplanted to a 36-year-old man with the use of fibrin matrix.

Scientists may now be able to predict whether carrying a specific genetic variant increases a person’s risk for disease using gene editing and stem cell technologies.

Exosomes can contain amyloid-beta oligomers, which other cells can absorb.

There is a strong need for medication that treats age-related degenerative muscle and tendon diseases. A critical bottleneck in the discovery and development of novel drugs for skeletal muscle is the lack of efficient and robust functional in vitro assays for compound screening. Researchers describe the development of a novel screening platform with automated production of 3D muscle- and tendon–like tissues using 3D bioprinting.

Scientists from Newcastle University have shown that human embryonic stem cells move by travelling back and forth in a line, much like ants moving along their trails.

Here we discuss the differences between totipotent, pluripotent, and multipotent stem cells.

A microfluidic model of the colon has been built using natural tissue base matrix, which closely mimics the structure and function of the colon.

It’s more than a century since Paget first proposed the ‘soil and seed’ hypothesis in cancer, providing evidence that the environment surrounding a tumor is as important as the tumor itself. Research in this area has gathered momentum and it’s now the focus of intense research efforts.
