Age-related vision loss is one of the most common forms of vision loss in people around the world. It gets worse over time, and can even lead to total blindness, which is debilitating. A new study ...

A University of Ottawa neuroscientist has led a Canadian research team to reveal important new insights into the activation ...

Translation of human pluripotent stem cells into cell therapies will require the development of standardized tests for product consistency, stability, tumorigenicity, toxicity and immunogenicity.

This means that ... Dec. 18, 2024 — Scientists have generated human stem cell models which contain notochord -- a tissue in the developing embryo that acts like a navigation system, directing ...

Scientists have discovered that neural stem cells (NSCs) receive constant feedback from their daughter cells, influencing whether they remain dormant or activate to form new neurons and glia.

Consequently, a human-based model is a desirable solution to this problem, which has been made possible by the advent of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). In particular, recent advances in ...

As researchers grow sperm and eggs from stem cells to produce life in a lab, will it change the concept of birth and gene ...

The rationale for the study was anecdotal reports of the effects of breast milk used by mothers to treat blocked tear ducts, ...

The committee reviews and approves research and training materials related to the derivation and use of pHSCs, including human embryonic stem cells (hESC) and pluripotent stem cells produced from ...

These are the stem cells that build our central nervous systems ... for how to understand this cellular relationship in the human brain. “Until now it was thought that NSCs only generate progeny ...

and neural stem/progenitor cells, maturing in a manner that reflects human brain development. We introduce a novel technique for the generation of embryoid bodies (EBs) directly from induced ...
