Stem cells

Two studies take different approaches to solving the problem of distinguishing cancerous from healthy cells, paving the way for earlier diagnosis and treatment

One week after a breakthrough finding, scientists report they can reprogram human skin cells to behave like embryonic stem cells without a growth factor known to cause cancer

Gene cocktails rewire human skin tissue into all-purpose stem cells

A new stem cell line with the mutation for fragile X syndrome may help uncover the mechanism behind the debilitating disorder

Embryonic stem cells derived from adult primate cells suggest humans may get their turn yet

New method allows researchers to pinpoint young nerve cells in the living human brain

Stem cell transplants rescue memory problems in mice, but not in the way you might expect

Scientists have a hunch that the gray hairs we dread (or welcome) may arrive sooner with stress

Tracking down powerful adult stem cells in mouse testes may benefit humans, too

A process known to kill adult nerve cells also halts stem cell growth, causing neurodegeneration

Fraudulent cloned cells were likely the first example of a human egg turned directly into stem cells
