Dandelion root extract has shown remarkable potential in laboratory tests against colorectal cancer cells, triggering ...

Before testing new therapies in animals, researchers now have a more efficient starting point—lab-grown canine muscle cells ...

In a groundbreaking development, scientists have uncovered a type of immortal cell in laboratory settings, offering unprecedented potential for medical research and treatment. These cells, with their ...

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 ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

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 ...

Artificial cells created in the laboratory offer a wide range of potential applications. Until now, however, their membranes—unlike those of real cells—have been virtually impermeable. Researchers at ...

Researchers have engineered cows’ muscle cells that can multiply without the assistance of an expensive and energy-intensive growth-boosting substance. If scaled up, they are optimistic this could ...

Duarte-based City of Hope has been awarded more than $11 million in grants from California’s stem cell institute in recent weeks, including a $5.4 million grant to build and fund a stem cell research ...

First-in-human studies provide hope that islet replacement therapies derived from stem cells will prove safe and effective in people with type 1 diabetes, but hurdles remain. T1D is well suited to ...
