We’re a step closer to seeing a live woolly mammoth walking the Earth for the first time in 4,000 years. Colossal Biosciences, a company dedicated to the controversial-but-unquestionably-cool goal of resurrecting extinct species, has now announced a ma… Continue reading Resurrecting the mammoth: Elephant breakthrough gets us a step closer
Researchers have developed a biodegradable patch engineered from human cells that could one day be used to correct infant congenital heart defects, limiting the need for multiple invasive surgeries and outlasting current non-living, non-degradable patc… Continue reading Biodegradable patch developed to fix congenital heart defects in infants

It’s well documented that vitamin B12, or cobalamin, helps red blood cells form and facilitates DNA synthesis that protects genetic mutations in our cells. It is also crucial in the development and ongoing function of our brain and nerve cells. Now, sc… Continue reading Vitamin B12 helps reprogram cells to heal tissue & fight chronic disease
Researchers have used human neural stem cells to 3D print functional brain tissue that mimics the architecture of the cerebral cortex, the brain’s outermost layer. The breakthrough technique has the potential to provide individualized repairs to brain … Continue reading 3D-printed tissues using stem cells may offer repair for brain injuries
Researchers have used naïve pluripotent stem cells to create an embryo model that looks and acts like a natural human embryo. They say it’s an ethical way of gaining a better understanding of embryonic development that may lead to new avenues of resear… Continue reading Human embryo models could unlock the “black box” of early development
Researchers have transplanted precursor stem cells into the damaged heart muscle of pigs, repairing injured cells and improving heart function. The study may lead to a treatment that can regenerate heart muscle damaged by a lack of oxygen.Continue Read… Continue reading Stem cell therapy regenerates damaged heart cells & improves function
Australian researchers have achieved two firsts that will assist in the global battle against heart disease: they created a tiny beating heart with its own vascular system and then uncovered how the vascular system affects inflammation-driven heart dam… Continue reading World-first vascularization to advance global research into heart disease
Human stem cells can differentiate into any human cell. But the process of dedifferentiation, essentially differentiation in reverse, is implicated in several diseases. Now researchers have uncovered a mechanism that is key to the process of stem cell … Continue reading Key mechanism behind human stem cell differentiation uncovered
Scientists in Israel have for the first time created male and female stem cells from the same person. This breakthrough means the cells are genetically identical except for the sex chromosomes, which could enable a new platform for scientists to invest… Continue reading Male and female stem cells created from single person for the first time
