Scientists have discovered how plant stem cells in roots detect soil structure and whether it is favourable for growth. Poor soil structure is a problem in tropical agriculture, where soil becomes compact as it dries out.
In highly purified hematopoietic stem cells from mice aged 2 to 21 months, gene expression analysis indicates a deficit in function, yet an increase in stem cell number with advancing age.
Testicular cancer patients who do not respond to traditional therapy can be cured with high-dose chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant, according to an Indiana University School of Medicine report in the July 26 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
A new method of adult stem cell growth, designed in the Area of Cellular Therapy of the University Clinic (University of Navarra), has demonstrated its efficacy for its capacity to grow cornea stem cells.
A top panel of experts will face questions of public and scientific concern on stem cell research, during an international conference being held at the University of Manchester this week.
A startling discovery on the development of human embryonic stem cells by scientists at McMaster University will change how future research in the area is done.
Now blood vessels can be created from bone marrow adult stem cells that function like native tissue in human body, revealed in a recent study by the researchers at the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering of University at Buffalo.
Scientists have discovered that adult neural stem cells, which exist in the brain throughout life, are not a single, homogeneous group. Instead, they are a diverse group of cells, each capable of giving rise to specific types of neurons.
