How Do Precancerous Lesions Develop Towards Pancreatic Cancer? Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in United States, with a 5-year survival of 12% and is considered to be one of the ...

A set of lab-grown stem cells could hold the secret to a game-changing cancer treatment. So far, the cells have only been tested in mice, but when infused into the rodents, scientists say the stem ...

In the lab, it's easier to grow simple balls of cells than complex asymmetrical structures with two distinct ends—like the one million filtering units—nephrons—that make up a human kidney. But new ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important ...

Human blood stem cells have been made in a laboratory for the first time, which could significantly improve how we treat certain types of cancer. The lab-grown cells have so far only been tested in ...

AMES, Iowa – A decade ago, Raquel Espin Palazon discovered that inflammatory signaling pathways must switch on for embryos to produce blood stem cells. The latest work from her lab shows the potential ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...
