In recent years, there have been tremendous advances in tissue engineering, the field of biomaterials research and development that combines living cells with 3D microstructures and biologically ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important type of human immune cell—known as helper T cells—from stem cells in a ...

Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based ...

Editor’s Note: This is part of a series called Inside the Lab, which gives audiences a first-hand look at the laboratories of researchers at the University of Chicago who are working to improve our ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a method to direct stem cells to form specific structures. By triggering the expression of specific genes in mouse embryonic stem cells, synthetic organizer cells were ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia developed a reliable method to produce helper T cells from stem cells by precisely tuning Notch signaling, enabling scalable, off-the-shelf immune ...

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 ...

Microgravity offers a unique condition for tissue engineering, advancing stem cell-derived liver tissue development. But how can we transport these tissues to Earth without damaging them? Researchers ...

Using mathematical analysis of patterns of human and animal cell behavior, scientists say they have developed a computer program that mimics the behavior of such cells in any part of the body. Led by ...

Scientists in Japan have created hybrid plant-animal cells, essentially making animal cells that can gain energy from sunlight like plants. The breakthrough could have major benefits for growing ...

Clean rooms protect cells and tissues from contamination, but they are expensive to operate and take up a lot of space. Ander Izeta is head of the stem cells and aging group at Biogipuzkoa Health ...
